RTP Company: The Global Leader in Specialty Compounding

PC/Acrylic Alloy Compounds

Product Characteristics

• Superior Impact Strength Compared To PC With The Processing Ease Of Acrylic
• Modifiable For Wear Resistance, Flame Retardance (UL94 V-0 and 5V), Anti-Static, and Precolor
• Formulated For Injection Molding Or Extruded Sheet

RTP Company engineers can customize your PC/Acrylic Compound to incorporate wear additives, flame retardants, 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 overmolded with elastomers providing a "soft-touch" feel.

The synergistic effect of a PC/Acrylic alloy results in a compound that displays higher impact strength than PC while maintaining the processing ease associated with Acrylics. Better yet, pricing for PC/Acrylic Compounds are comparable to those made with PC/ABS or PPO, even though overall properties are similar or better.

Typical Applications

• Housings (e.g. hand held devices, fire alarms, lighted signs, appliances, security system control panels, and medical diagnostic devices)
• Internal computer components
• Shutter actuator for printer toner cartridges
• Snow board bindings
• Existing PC, PC/ABS, or PPO applications
