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. Virgin 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
Virgin 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;
・Excellent thermal stability: 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.
