Resin for a PC/PMMA alloy [SA256]

01Overview

SA256 is a PMMA that improves the commercial properties of PC. It is a product that maintains transparency after being compounded with PC, and which can improve the surface hardness and weather resistance that are weaknesses of PC.

02Applications

SA256 is used to create a PC compound and can be applied to the back covers and display windows of mobile phones, and the housing of electric home appliances, where it can improve the surface hardness while maintaining the transparency of regular PC.

03Characteristics

SA256 has excellent optical properties compared to the general PMMA/PC material, due to forming a uniform morphology in the PC matrix by that improves the commercial properties of PC. It can also increase the surface hardness of PC to the H level, in the case of a 30% SA256 content.
