Features & Benefits
Self-Extinguishing Safety
Tairilite PC AC3710’s self-extinguishing grade eliminates halogen additives while achieving UL94 V-0 compliance (0.6–3mm thickness), ensuring fire-resistant housings for high-risk environments like battery casings and energy storage systems.
High Flow for Precision Molding
With a melt flow index of 28g/10min, this resin fills intricate, thin-walled molds effortlessly—perfect for compact 3C electronics (e.g., <1mm laptop battery covers) without compromising structural integrity.
Impact Resistance Under Stress
Boasting IZOD impact strength of 685 J/m and Charpy impact of 40 kJ/m², TAIRILITE AC3710 withstands drops, vibrations, and mechanical stress, ideal for rugged housings in appliances and industrial equipment.
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.
