Features & Benefits

High Flow, Fast Cycling

Apec® 1895’s superior melt flow (18 cm³/10 min) fills intricate molds quickly, reducing cycle times by up to 15% and boosting production efficiency. Perfect for thin-walled automotive lenses.

Heat & Warpage Resistance

It withstands 183°C softening temps and offers low thermal expansion (0.65×10⁻⁴/K), ensuring dimensional stability under heat. Ideal for LED reflectors near high-temperature sources.

Effortless Mold Release

Easy-release properties minimize sticking and surface defects, cutting demolding time and scrap rates. Eliminates finishing costs for glossy light covers.
