Chemical-Resistant PC

Passes carbon tetrachloride and glacial acetic acid tests without cracking

Resistant to gasoline, UV coatings, paints, diesel, lubricants, cooking oils, etc.

Resistant to alcohol, cleaning agents, and solvents such as acetone and chloroform

High transparency

No cracking, whitening or embrittlement after chemical immersion; excellent chemical resistance

Features of Corrosion- and Acid/Alkali-Resistant PC

Excellent Dimensional Stability
Special additives give excellent chemical resistance, a low coefficient of linear expansion and low water absorption
Outstanding dimensional precision and stability in molded parts.

Mechanical Properties
Maintains high strength and hardness over a wide temperature range.
Good creep resistance at elevated temperatures.

Good Moldability
High flow and low shrinkage make it well suited to precision injection molding.

Electrical Properties
Outstanding electrical performance in high-temperature, high-humidity and high-frequency environments.

Wide Choice of Grades
A wide range of PC types to choose from
including EMI shielding, glass-fiber reinforced, conductive, thermally conductive and chemical-resistant grades.

How Chemical-Resistant PC Works

Chemical Resistance Test Comparison

Glacial Acetic Acid Immersion Test Comparison

Xresin modified PC is highly resistant to a variety of chemicals, such as acids, alkalis and oils. In particular, it offers far better carbon tetrachloride resistance than standard PC. The image on the left shows the part surfaces after the carbon tetrachloride test: standard PC shows many cracks, while Xresin modified PC shows none.
