LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ AM Compound DC0041XA51
- Chemical Family
- Polycarbonate (PC)
SABIC's Specialties Business LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ DC0041XA51 compound is based on PC Copolymer Resin containing 20% carbon fiber for Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) applications. Added features of this grade include: Higher Stiffness vs. glass fiber, Higher Strength, Higher Temperature Performance and Higher Throughput compared to ABS and PPE, as well as Smooth Surface Finish. This halogen-free flame retardant resin is EN45545 R1 HL3 and R27 HL2 compliant and an ideal candidate for train interior applications (category R1). It also meets requirements of NFPA-130a
