ALTECH® ECO PC 1000/128
- Chemical Family
- Polycarbonate (PC)
MOCOM Compounds ALTECH® ECO PC 1000/128 is a UV-stabilized polycarbonate base polymer with easy release (demolding) characteristics. It is suitable for pre-drying conditions of 120°C in a dry air (dessiccant) dryer for 2-3 hours, or in an air circulating dryer at 100-120°C for 4-12 hours, depending on moisture content, with a maximum moisture content of <0.02%. It is suitable for applications including exterior parts, light transparent components and injection molded parts, and is commonly used for lamp covers, housings, and various other products. It should be stored dry, protected from light, and kept away from direct sunlight.
