What is PC Virgin

Today, as high-performance engineering plastics are constantly challenging lightweight, impact resistance and processability, pc virgin (polycarbonate virgin material), as a key material for electronics and electrical appliances, automobiles, household goods and durable consumer goods, is undergoing a new round of technological evolution. Saudi Basic PC EXL1414, as a injection-grade polycarbonate modified by siloxane copolymerization, has demonstrated ideal performance in injection molding processes due to its outstanding low-temperature ductility, high toughness and short molding cycle, thus becoming the focus of industry attention.

01 | PC Virgin Property Analysis: Flexibility and impact resistance coexist

Saudi Basic PC EXL1414 belongs to the pc virgin grade material. It is modified with siloxane copolymer, which endows it with excellent ductility (elongation at break up to 120%) at a low temperature of -30°C, and at the same time has excellent impact strength (notched impact of cantilever beam 70kJ/m²). This makes it particularly suitable for applications with strict requirements for toughness and low-temperature reliability, such as battery packs, power tool casings, automotive interior parts, etc.

Its mechanical strength performance is equally outstanding:

  ・Tensile strength (yield) : 57 MPa
  ・Flexural modulus: 2250 MPa
  ・Rockwell hardness: 121 (R scale)

These data indicate that the EXL1414 strikes a balance between rigidity and flexibility, is suitable for thin-walled designs, and also has excellent structural support capabilities.

02 | Processing advantages: Friendly to injection molding, shorter cycle

For injection molding factories, processing efficiency and demolding performance directly affect production capacity and yield. EXL1414 features the dual advantages of "medium fluidity + easy demolding", a wide processing temperature window, and a melt index of 10 g/10min, enabling the production of high-quality injection molded parts under relatively low shear conditions.

In addition, its molding cycle is relatively short, making it suitable for automated mass production, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the production line and reducing operating costs.

03 | Flame retardancy and thermal performance: Complies with global electronic safety standards

As the compliance requirements for the fire resistance performance of materials in electronic and electrical products continue to rise, EXL1414 stands out particularly in terms of hot wire ignition temperature (GWIT) and hot wire flammability index (GWFI).

  ・GWIT@1.0mm: 875°C
  ・GWFI@1.0mm: 960°C
  ・Limiting oxygen index: 35%

Meanwhile, its RTI electrical, structural and shock temperature stability at different thicknesses can reach up to 130°C, which means it can maintain its electrical and mechanical properties unchanged for a long time in high-temperature environments. It is widely used in charger housings, LED lighting components, power modules and other fields.

04 | Environmental Protection and Material Purity: The added value of pc virgin

As a pc virgin material, EXL1414 has an extremely low impurity content and a consistent molecular structure, and possesses the following key advantages:

  ・Higher transparency and color controllability

  ・The material has stronger thermal stability and reduces the risk of yellowing

  ・It contains no recycled components and is suitable for international markets with high requirements for material certification, such as UL, IEC and CE standard systems

Against the backdrop of the current global emphasis on the compliance of eco-friendly materials, choosing virgin grade materials has become the top choice for multinational brands and OEM manufacturers.

05 | Application Scenario Expansion: Durable consumer goods and high-end electronic structural components

The original design intention of the Saudi Basic PC EXL1414 is to maximize the material performance in demanding scenarios. Typical applications include:

  ・Electric tool housing (low-temperature resistant, shockproof)

  ・Battery module brackets, electric bicycle housings (high-impact)

  ・Lamps, LED structural brackets (good electrical insulation, flame retardant)

  ・Smart home appliance control panel, connector housing (high toughness, low warpage)

These markets are rapidly transforming towards "lightweight + high strength + green compliance", and EXL1414 offers a solution that emphasizes both sustainability and performance.
