PC+ABS materials

Polycarbonate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene blend (PC+ABS) combines the properties of PC and ABS, that is, the high processibility of ABS with the excellent mechanical properties and the impact and heat resistance of PC. The ratio of the two components affects the heat resistance. The blend exhibits excellent flow characteristics.

Injection molding processing information

Drying

Drying is required prior to processing. Moisture content should be less than 0.04 % to ensure stable processing parameters. Drying at 90°C–110°C [194°F–230°F] for 2 to 4 hours is recommended.

Melt Temperature

230°C–300°C [446°F–572°F]

Mold Temperature

50°C–100°C [122°F–212°F]

Material Injection Pressure

Part dependent

Injection Speed

As high as possible
