Features & Benefits
Superior UV Resistance & Clarity
Tarflon IV1900R blocks harmful UV rays below 380 nm while maintaining 85–90% light transmittance. This ensures long-term color stability and prevents yellowing, perfect for automotive headlamps and outdoor lighting exposed to sunlight.
High Impact Strength
With a Charpy impact strength of 70 kJ/m², this Tarflon polycarbonate resists cracking under stress, reducing failure risks in components like vehicle housings or rugged outdoor equipment.
Efficient Mold Release
The resin’s excellent flow (MFR 19 g/10min) and low mold shrinkage (0.5–0.7%) streamline production, cutting cycle times and costs for high-volume parts like lenses or enclosures.
Use & Applications
- Automotive Lighting: AMECA-certified for headlamps, fog lights, and signal covers.
- Outdoor Equipment: UV-resistant enclosures for LED streetlights or solar panels.
- Industrial Components: High-impact housings for machinery and electrical systems.
- Consumer Electronics: Durable, clear covers for displays or touchscreens.
