PC/ABS

PC/ABS combines the strength and impact resistance of polycarbonate with the good processability of ABS and represents a versatile solution for technically demanding products.

PC/ABS: Bayblend, Cycoloy, Wanblend

KEY BENEFITS:
  • impact resistance
  • heat resistance
  • dimensional stability
  • easy processing
  • surface aesthetics
LIMITATIONS:
  • poor UV resistance
  • sensitivity to chemicals
  • tendency to stress cracks
  • hygroscopicity
