As a dedicated supplier of high-performance engineering plastics, Shanghai Yunshan Plasticizing Co., Ltd. is proud to offer SABIC 4701R Hydrolysis Resistant Reinforced Polycarbonate Granules. Sourced directly from a leading global producer, this premium raw material is engineered to deliver exceptional long-term stability and mechanical performance in demanding, moisture-rich environments where standard polycarbonates may fail. We provide this RoHS-compliant grade to manufacturers seeking reliable materials for components that require durability, strength, and resistance to environmental stress cracking.
This specialized polycarbonate compound addresses a critical need in industries where exposure to hot water, steam, high humidity, or aggressive cleaning agents is common. The hydrolysis resistance is a built-in feature of the polymer, significantly extending the service life of finished parts compared to conventional PC grades.
Core Product Characteristics & Technical Advantages:
- Superior Hydrolytic Stability: The 4701R grade is specifically formulated to resist molecular degradation caused by prolonged exposure to heat and moisture. This prevents the loss of key mechanical properties like impact strength and tensile modulus over time, ensuring part integrity.
- Enhanced Mechanical Performance: As a reinforced grade, it offers improved stiffness, dimensional stability, and creep resistance compared to unfilled polycarbonate. This makes it suitable for structural components that must maintain their shape under load.
- RoHS Compliance Assurance: The material conforms to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, making it appropriate for a wide range of electronic, electrical, and consumer goods applications without regulatory concerns.
- Excellent Processability: Despite its reinforced nature, SABIC 4701R is designed for smooth processing via injection molding or extrusion, offering good flow characteristics for molding complex geometries.
- Broad Service Temperature Range: It retains its properties across a wide temperature spectrum, performing reliably from sub-zero conditions to elevated temperatures encountered in applications like automotive under-hood parts or kitchen appliances.
Typical Technical Specifications:
The following table outlines key properties representative of the SABIC 4701R grade. Specific values can vary based on colorant and processing conditions.
| Property | Test Method | Typical Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density | ISO 1183 | 1.34 | g/cm³ |
| Tensile Modulus | ISO 527 | 8500 | MPa |
| Tensile Strength at Yield | ISO 527 | 85 | MPa |
| Notched Izod Impact Strength (23°C) | ISO 180/1A | 12 | kJ/m² |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What exactly does "hydrolysis resistant" mean for this polycarbonate?
A: Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of the polymer chain due to reaction with water, especially under heat. "Hydrolysis resistant" means this grade is specially stabilized to significantly slow down this degradation process, maintaining its mechanical properties like impact strength and stiffness much longer in hot/wet conditions than standard PC. -
Q: Is SABIC 4701R suitable for parts in contact with drinking water?
A: While it exhibits excellent resistance to water, suitability for potable water contact depends on specific regional certifications (like NSF/ANSI 61). The base resin has good inherent properties, but final approval should be verified based on the exact application and local regulations. -
Q: Can this material be colored?
A: Yes. It is typically supplied in natural (off-white) color, but it is highly suitable for coloring with masterbatches during processing. We can assist in sourcing compatible colorants or provide pre-colored material upon request. -
Q: How does the reinforcement affect the material's properties?
A: Reinforcement, typically with glass fibers, increases stiffness (modulus), dimensional stability, and heat deflection temperature while potentially reducing the notched impact strength slightly compared to unfilled PC. The result is a material ideal for load-bearing parts in harsh environments. -
Q: What are the primary processing recommendations for 4701R?
A: Standard drying procedures for polycarbonate are essential—typically 4-6 hours at 120°C to remove moisture. Recommended melt temperatures are in the range of 280-320°C for injection molding, but always refer to the official SABIC processing guide for optimal settings. -
Q: Does RoHS compliance include REACH SVHC?
A: RoHS and REACH are separate regulations. This material is compliant with RoHS. For up-to-date information on REACH Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) status, please request the latest material compliance declaration from us. -
Q: What industries commonly use this grade?
A: Key applications include components for:
- Appliances: Steam iron parts, coffee machine housings, dishwasher components.
- Electrical & Lighting: Connectors, sensor housings, LED light guides exposed to humidity.
- Industrial & Automotive: Fluid handling parts, pump components, under-hood brackets. -
Q: Do you provide technical support or material data sheets (MDS)?
A: Absolutely. We provide full technical data sheets and safety data sheets (SDS) for SABIC 4701R. Our team can also offer general processing guidance and connect you with deeper technical resources for complex applications.
