Use & Applications
Features & Benefits
Halogen-Free Flame Retardancy
AC3610-AF achieves UL94 V-0 fire resistance (1–3 mm thickness) without toxic halogens or antimony. Ensures safety in electrical components while meeting eco-friendly regulations.
Superior Impact Resistance
With 735 J/m Izod impact strength (ISO 180), it withstands drops and shocks in rugged environments, reducing part failures in automotive or industrial housings.
High-Flow Processing Efficiency
Melt flow index of 10 g/10 min (ISO 1133) enables easy filling of intricate molds, cutting cycle times and production costs for complex geometries.
FAQs
The ISO TDS lists “Cl, Br, Sb free” in the features, not the exact term “halogen-free.” A current RoHS/halogen report was not provided; confirm before making a halogen-free claim.
UL Product iQ for AC361x lists V-2 at 0.6 mm, V-1 at 0.8 mm, V-0 at 1.0–3.0 mm, and 5VB at 2.0–3.0 mm, in ALL colors. The ISO TDS lists V-0 1–3 mm, V-1 0.8 mm, and V-2 0.6 mm. Verify the exact thickness and color you need.
The provided UL excerpt does not list UL 746C f1 for AC3610-AF. For outdoor use, request the current UL Product iQ page or consider f1-rated grades.
The processing guide recommends pre-drying at 110–120°C for 4–6 hr. Screw temperature is 260–295°C, mold temperature 80–100°C, and injection pressure 50–130 kg/cm². Confirm with your machine and mold.
It is a high-flow, non-transparent, flame-retardant grade with Cl, Br, Sb free formulation. It is often used where halogen-free alternatives are preferred and high flow is needed.
