What is Virgin PC

In the electrical and electronics and consumer goods industries, materials need to combine structural strength with moulding efficiency and safety compliance. Virgen PC SC-1100R from Lotte Advanced Materials is a polycarbonate material optimised for injection moulding, combining high toughness, flame retardancy (V-2) and excellent processability, providing a more reliable solution for applications such as smart device housings and electrical components.

01 | Material Highlights: Core Benefits of virgin PC SC-1100R

✅ Ultra-high toughness: cantilever beam notched impact strength of 80 kJ/m² (ISO 180) maintains structural integrity in drop or impact environments.

✅ Flame retardant safety: meets UL94 V-2 standard, suitable for electronic and electrical products with strict requirements for fire protection.

✅ Dimensional stability: Shrinkage rate is only 0.5~0.7%, which reduces injection moulding deformation and improves product precision.

✅ Easy processability: melt index 11.5 g/10min (300℃/1.2kg), good flowability, suitable for thin-walled parts injection moulding.

02 | Main Applications: Made for High Strength Injection Moulded Parts

Virgin PC SC-1100R is designed for injection moulding process, and performs particularly well in the field of electronics, electrical appliances and consumer products:

  ・Electrical and electronic parts: including power module housings, plugs and sockets, relay covers, appliance clips, etc.;

  ・Household appliance parts: for air purifiers, rice cookers, blender housings and internal structural joints;

  ・Consumer plastics products: such as Sports equipment parts, tool handles, smart wear housings;

  ・Structural and snap-on parts: assembly structures that focus on precision and long-term mechanical loads.

03 | Process Adaptation: Optimized for Efficient Injection Molding

Virgen PC SC-1100R is ideal for injection molding processes, with a wide processing window:

  ・Superior fluidity: the material has good melt flow under standard injection molding conditions, and fills complex mold structures without leaving dead space;

  ・Controlled shrinkage: stable shrinkage in both the flow and vertical directions, and low deformation after molding, which is conducive to the achievement of high-precision dimensional requirements;

  ・Excelente estabilidad térmica: support continuous processing, reduce the risk of degradation under high-temperature melting, and improve the yield rate;

  ・Drying treatment recommendations: to prevent high water content leading to silver wire or bubbles, it is recommended that the drying at 110 ℃ for more than 4 hours.

08 | Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is Virgin PC SC-1100R suitable for transparent products?

A: The material is mainly in its original colour, although it is not optical grade, it still has a certain transparent effect in occasions where light transmission is not required, and the colour can be customized.

Q2: Is there any special requirement for the mould when injection moulding?

A: There are no special requirements, we suggest using conventional PC mould steel and keep the demoulding slope good to optimize the demoulding efficiency.

Q3: Can it be used for outdoor parts?

A: The material is not added with special anti-UV system, if used for long term outdoor use it is recommended to use weather resistant PC.

Q4: Does it support environmental regulations?

A: Yes, SC-1100R complies with RoHS and REACH environmental standards and is suitable for international sales.
