Features & Benefits
Superior Flame Retardancy
Halogen-free and UL94 V-0/5VB rated, AC3630 eliminates toxic fumes during combustion. This ensures safer electronics and compliance with global environmental regulations.
High-Flow Processing Efficiency
With a melt flow index of 25 g/10 min, it fills complex molds effortlessly. Reduces cycle times and energy costs while minimizing defects in thin-walled parts.
Weather-Resistant Durability
UL-certified for outdoor use, it withstands UV exposure and temperature swings. Non-transparent properties prevent degradation, ideal for long-lasting outdoor equipment.
Use & applications
FAQs
The supplied ISO TDS lists “Halogen free” in the features.
The ISO TDS lists “UL weather resistance certification,” but a UL 746C f1 listing was not provided. For outdoor use, request the current UL Product iQ page or consider grades with explicit f1 coverage.
The ISO TDS lists V-0 at 0.8–3.0 mm and 5VB at 1.5–3.0 mm. A UL Product iQ yellow card was not provided in the supplied documents. Verify the current UL status and color coverage before design freeze.
It is a high-flow, non-transparent, halogen-free flame-retardant grade with UL weather resistance certification. It is often used for outdoor or weather-exposed parts requiring high flow.
