Apec® Thermoplastic Material Suitable for High-Temperature Applications

Apec® offers unique performance, maintaining transparency and brightness while possessing high-temperature resistance. Additionally, this material features an excellent high-gloss surface, making it suitable for applications such as metallization. This linear amorphous copolymer carbonate can withstand temperatures ranging from approximately -30°C to about 150°C for extended periods, characterized by durability and impact resistance.

The high-temperature resistant thermoplastic material Apec® is an ideal choice for the automotive, electronics, industrial lighting, and medical technology sectors. According to UL 746B standards, this material can easily endure temperatures up to 150°C and withstand short-term exposure to temperatures as high as 200°C. Due to its good dimensional stability, Apec® can be used to produce precision parts with low tolerances. Therefore, it serves as an ideal alternative to glass, metal, or standard polycarbonate for various high-temperature applications. The unique properties of Apec® also provide users with high design freedom and a broad processing range. This material is primarily processed using injection molding and is available in transparent, translucent, and opaque options, as well as special color variations. Grades with UV protection and flame retardancy further enhance the material's versatility.
