PC/Acrylic Alloy Compounds

[cover shot]
  • Excellent balance of impact resistance, processability, and chemical resistance
  • Superior impact strength compared to pc with the processing ease of acrylic
  • Modifiable for wear resistance, flame retardance, anti-static, and precolor
  • Formulated for injection molding or extruded sheet

The RTP 1800A Series (PC/Acrylic Alloy) offers greater impact strength than PC and maintains the ease of processing associated with acrylic materials. These compounds can be processed at lower temperatures than PC, decreasing the cooling time and cycle time of the injection molding process.

While the PC/Acrylic resin system is already available in the marketplace, the RTP 1800A Series opens new application niches by incorporating wear additives, flame retardants, EMI shielding and PermaStat® permanently anti-static protection. The compound's natural opaque white provides excellent base for a wide range of colors. Compounds can also be developed for use in applications where a part will be in contact with food.
