Covestro PC/ABS FR3010 Flame Retardant Plastic Raw Material for Electrical Enclosure Parts
Product Spotlights
As a specialized manufacturer and supplier of high-performance engineering plastics, Shanghai Yunshan Plasticizing Co., Ltd. is proud to present our Covestro PC/ABS FR3010 flame retardant plastic raw material. Engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of electrical and electronic enclosures, this material combines the superior strength and heat resistance of Polycarbonate (PC) with the excellent processability of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). We understand that safety and reliability are non-negotiable in your applications, which is why FR3010 is formulated to provide a robust balance of mechanical properties and inherent flame retardancy, helping you manufacture enclosures that protect both equipment and users.
Our FR3010 material is designed to meet the rigorous standards of the electrical industry. Below are its core characteristics and advantages:
Superior Flame Retardancy: The material possesses inherent flame retardant properties, significantly slowing down the spread of fire and contributing to enhanced product safety. This is a critical feature for enclosures housing sensitive electronic components or operating in environments with potential fire risks.
Excellent Mechanical Performance: It inherits high impact strength from PC, making the final parts resistant to cracking or breaking upon impact during installation, transportation, or daily use. The ABS component ensures good dimensional stability.
Good Thermal Properties: PC/ABS FR3010 maintains structural integrity over a wide temperature range, suitable for applications where components may generate heat or be exposed to varying ambient conditions.
Enhanced Processability: Compared to standard PC, this alloy offers improved flow characteristics during injection molding, allowing for easier filling of complex mold geometries and potentially shorter cycle times, which can increase production efficiency.
Good Electrical Insulation: As expected for enclosure materials, it provides reliable electrical insulation properties, helping to prevent short circuits and ensure the safe operation of housed equipment.
Aesthetic Versatility: The material can be easily colored and typically offers a good surface finish, which is important for consumer-facing or professional-grade electronic devices.
Here is a summary of typical properties for Covestro PC/ABS FR3010:
| Property | Test Method | Typical Value |
| Density | ISO 1183 | ~1.18 g/cm³ |
| Melt Flow Rate | ISO 1133 | Approx. 15-25 g/10min |
| Tensile Strength at Break | ISO 527 | Approx. 55-65 MPa |
| Charpy Notched Impact Strength | ISO 179/1eA | Approx. 30-50 kJ/m² |
| Heat Deflection Temperature | ISO 75 (1.8 MPa) | Approx. 95-105 °C |
| Flame Retardancy | UL 94 | V-0 (at specified thickness) |
Benefits for Your Business:
Risk Mitigation: Using a flame-retardant material for enclosures helps you comply with safety regulations and reduces liability risks associated with electrical fires.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main advantage of PC/ABS FR3010 over standard ABS for enclosures?
While standard ABS is easy to process, PC/ABS FR3010 offers significantly higher impact strength and heat resistance, along with inherent flame retardancy. This makes it a more suitable choice for enclosures that require enhanced safety and durability, especially in demanding environments.Is this material suitable for outdoor electrical enclosures?
PC/ABS FR3010 has good weathering resistance, but for prolonged direct outdoor exposure to UV and extreme elements, additives or specific grades with enhanced UV stabilization may be recommended. We can advise on the best formulation for outdoor use.Can we achieve different colors with this material?
Yes, absolutely. The material is supplied in a natural color and can be masterbatched to achieve a wide range of standard or custom colors during the injection molding process to match your product design.What injection molding machine settings are recommended for FR3010?
Typical melt temperature ranges from 240°C to 260°C, with a mold temperature of 60-80°C. Drying the material before processing is crucial (recommended: 3-4 hours at 80-90°C). Our technical team can provide detailed processing guidelines.Does this material comply with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Our supplied Covestro PC/ABS FR3010 is compliant with RoHS directives. For specific REACH SVHC compliance documentation, please contact our sales team for the latest material data sheet.What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this product?
Our standard MOQ is typically one pallet, but we are flexible and can discuss smaller trial orders for new projects or evaluations. Please inquire for specific packaging and quantity details.How does the flame retardancy of FR3010 affect its recyclability?
Flame retardant additives can sometimes complicate the recycling stream. FR3010 is a thermoplastic and can be technically reprocessed, but for closed-loop recycling, it's best to segregate it from non-halogenated materials. We recommend consulting with recycling specialists for end-of-life strategies.Can you provide material samples for testing?
Yes, we can arrange for sample quantities of FR3010 to be sent to your facility for mold trials, mechanical testing, or flame tests. This allows you to validate the material's performance in your specific application before committing to a full production order.
