Features & Benefits
Exceptional Flame Safety
Bayblend FR3009 (PC+ABS) blend achieves UL 94 V-0 (1.5 mm) and 5VB (1.8 mm) ratings, minimizing fire risks in electronics and enclosures. Reduces compliance costs while protecting high-risk applications.
Optimized Processing Flexibility
Wide melt temperature range (240–270°C) and low mold temps (60–90°C) enable faster cycles and energy savings. Resists warping, ideal for complex geometries like thin-wall connectors.
Enhanced Durability & Stability
Improved hydrolysis resistance prevents degradation in humid environments. High CTI 300V and thermal stability (HDT 85°C @1.8 MPa) ensure longevity in electrical housings and automotive parts.
Use & Applications
- Electronics: Server housings, power connectors, circuit breakers.
- Automotive: EV charging ports, interior trim, sensor housings.
- Industrial: Control panels, safety equipment, tool casings.
- Consumer: Appliances, power-tool bodies, smart-device frames.
