For those demanding applications, where conventional grades may not meet all requirements, we have developed a new family of impact modified flame retardant PC, which is completely based on an innovative additive technology:
XANTAR
® XRM.
This naturally bright white grade can be colored easily and exhibits a unique combination of properties, exceeding those of conventional PC and PC/ABS grades:
- No plasticizing effect, high ultimate temperature use, equal to PC
- Excellent low temperature impact, down to e.g. -40ºC
- Outstanding dimensional stability, excellent creep behavior
- UL94 V-1, V-0 and 5V flammability ratings, offering security to applications
- Excellent electrical performance, e.g. CTI PLC 2, HWI and HAI both PLC 0 !
- Excellent environmental stress cracking resistance, outperforming even the most robust PC/ABS grades
- Offering long term reliability, with second to none UV-, weatherability, hydrolytically and thermooxidative stability, outperforming even the most robust PC/ABS
- Easy processing, no juicing or outgassing
XANTAR
® XRM is completely free of chlorine, bromine, phosphorous and antimony, enhancing the green image of its applications, and is available in both reinforced and non-reinforced grades.
XANTAR
® XRM is the only choice if you require high impact, secured low and high temperature performance, chemical resistance, stability and reliability.
XANTAR® XRM GRADE LINE UP
XANTAR
® XRM is the optimum choice for most demanding applications, such as high-end enclosures and security devices, photovoltaic & solar industry components and housings, as well as power distribution applications.
XANTAR
® XRM is currently available in unreinforced and reinforced versions:
- XANTAR XRM 1006: unreinforced, V-1 @ 1.5mm, V-0 @ 2.5mm, 5VB @ 2.0mm, 5VA @ 3.0mm
- XANTAR XRM 5010: 9% glass fiber reinforced, V-1 @ 1.5mm, V-0 @ 3.0mm
