Features & Benefits
Weatherproof & UV-Resistant
WONDERLOY PC-860 material excels in outdoor environments, resisting fading, cracking, and degradation from UV exposure and moisture. Ideal for automotive trims, solar panels, and outdoor enclosures.
High Flow for Thin-Wall Molding
With a melt flow index of 22 ml/10min, Chimei PC-860 enables complex, lightweight designs (e.g., automotive grilles, electronic housings) while reducing cycle times and material waste.
Toughness in Extreme Conditions
PC-860 retains 50 KJ/m² impact strength at 23°C and 16 KJ/m² at -30°C, ensuring reliability in cold climates or high-stress scenarios like industrial equipment and connectors.
Use & Applications
- Automotive: Mirror housings, grilles, and trim (resists UV fading and road debris).
- Outdoor Electronics: Junction boxes, LED lamp holders (weatherproof, UL f1 compliant).
- Consumer Durables: Garden tools, sports equipment (impact-resistant, lightweight).
- Industrial: Electrical enclosures, connectors (HB flammability, high flow for precision).
