ALTECH® ECO PC 1000/521 IM UV
- Chemical Family
- Polycarbonate (PC)
MOCOM Compounds ALTECH® ECO PC 1000/521 IM UV is a polycarbonate base polymer with UV stabilization, easy release (demolding) and impact modification. It is suitable for pre-drying conditions at 120°C in a dry air (dessiccant) dryer for 2-4 hours or in an air circulating dryer at 100-120°C for 4-12 hours depending on moisture content (max. moisture content <0.02%). It has multiple market segments, including electrical and electronic, lighting, and various, and is suitable for exterior fixtures/fittings and various garden equipment and housings. To ensure optimal performance, it should be kept out of direct sunlight.
