Features & Benefits
Superior Flame Retardancy, Zero Halogens
PC-6715VT meets stringent V-0 flammability standards without bromine or chlorine, ensuring compliance with eco-conscious safety regulations. Ideal for railway components and electrical enclosures where fire resistance is critical.
Built for Outdoor Toughness
With UL 746C f1 certification, this material withstands UV exposure, moisture, and temperature swings. Perfect for outdoor fixtures, signage, or automotive parts that require long-term weather resistance.
High Impact & Thermal Resilience
Boasting 60 KJ/m² notched impact strength (23°C) and a heat distortion temperature of 125°C, PC-6715VT resists cracking under stress and maintains structural integrity in high-heat environments like industrial machinery or LED housings.
