Hey there! As a supplier of Modified PC ABS, I'm stoked to share with you the typical product specifications of this amazing material. Modified PC ABS is a blend of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), which combines the best properties of both materials. It's widely used in various industries, from automotive to electronics, thanks to its versatility and excellent performance.
Physical Properties
Let's start with the physical properties of Modified PC ABS. First off, it has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which means it's strong and durable while still being relatively lightweight. This makes it ideal for applications where weight is a concern, like in the automotive and aerospace industries.
The density of Modified PC ABS usually ranges from 1.1 to 1.2 g/cm³. This density gives it a solid feel without being overly heavy. Its melting point is typically around 220 - 260°C, which allows for easy processing using common plastic - molding techniques such as injection molding.
In terms of appearance, Modified PC ABS can have a smooth, glossy finish, or it can be made to have a matte look depending on the customer's requirements. It also has good dimensional stability, which means that parts made from it will keep their shape and size even under different environmental conditions.
Mechanical Properties
When it comes to mechanical properties, Modified PC ABS really shines. It has excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures. This is a huge advantage, especially for products that might be subjected to rough handling or accidental drops. For example, in the consumer electronics industry, smartphones and laptops often use Modified PC ABS for their outer casings to protect the internal components from damage.
The tensile strength of Modified PC ABS is generally in the range of 40 - 60 MPa. This strength allows it to withstand pulling forces without breaking easily. Its flexural strength, which is the ability to resist bending, is also quite high, usually around 60 - 80 MPa. These mechanical properties make it suitable for structural applications where the material needs to support loads.
Thermal Properties
Modified PC ABS has decent thermal properties. It has a relatively high heat deflection temperature (HDT), which is the temperature at which a material starts to deform under a specific load. For general - purpose Modified PC ABS, the HDT can be around 80 - 100°C. However, there are heat - resistant grades available. Check out the Heat Resistance PCABS Alloy for products that need to withstand higher temperatures. These heat - resistant grades can have an HDT of up to 120 - 140°C, making them suitable for applications like automotive engine covers or parts in high - temperature electronic devices.
Chemical Resistance
Another important aspect of Modified PC ABS is its chemical resistance. It has good resistance to many common chemicals, including some oils, greases, and detergents. This makes it suitable for use in environments where it might come into contact with these substances. For example, in the automotive industry, parts made from Modified PC ABS can resist the effects of engine oil and other automotive fluids.
However, it's important to note that it may not be resistant to all chemicals. Strong solvents like acetone can cause swelling or even dissolve the material. So, when choosing Modified PC ABS for a particular application, it's crucial to consider the chemical environment it will be exposed to.
Electrical Properties
Modified PC ABS also has good electrical properties. It has a relatively high volume resistivity, which means it can act as an electrical insulator. This makes it a popular choice for electrical and electronic applications. For example, it's used in the housings of electrical switches, connectors, and circuit boards to prevent electrical leakage.
Flame Retardancy
Flame retardancy is a key specification for many applications, especially in the building and electronics industries. There are flame - retardant grades of Modified PC ABS available. The Flame Retardant Grade PCABS Alloy can meet various flame - retardant standards such as UL 94 V - 0, which means it will self - extinguish quickly after being ignited and won't drip flaming particles. This is extremely important for ensuring the safety of products and preventing the spread of fire.
Different Grades and Their Applications
We offer different grades of Modified PC ABS to meet various customer needs.
- General Purpose PCABS Alloy: The General Purpose PCABS Alloy is a great all - around option. It has a good balance of mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. It's commonly used in consumer products like toys, household appliances, and small - scale electronic devices.
- Heat Resistance PCABS Alloy: As mentioned earlier, this grade is designed for applications that require high - temperature resistance. It's used in automotive under - the - hood components, industrial machinery parts, and high - power electronic devices.
- Flame Retardant Grade PCABS Alloy: This grade is essential for applications where fire safety is a concern. It's used in building materials, electrical enclosures, and public transportation interiors.
