Merits & Limitations

LG Chem PC

□ Merits

– Clarity

– Toughness

– Heat resistance

– Weather-ability

– Dimensional stability

– Electrical properties

If an application requires 2 or more of

the 3 key properties, polycarbonate

is the preferred material.

If only 1 property is required,

there may be a cheaper alternative.

□ Limitations

– Notch sensitivity

– Chemical resistance

– Abrasion resistance

- Outstanding Transmittance : 89%↑

(Similar performance to that of normal PC)

- Mechanical Property

: Similar performance to that of normal PCV-0@ 1.5&2.0&3.0mm

□ Eco-Friendly Transparent Polycarbonate

à LUPOY PC NF100#F is a High flamed retardant polycarbonate grade.

- Not used Br, CI flame retardant

- Easy mold release, UV Stabilized Grade

□ Recommendation

à Optical Properties can be changed by process conditions.(injection/extrusion)

Temperature over 300℃ is highly recommended for the better clarity.
