Another advantage of this material is its improved chemical resistance, which makes it predestined for use in aggressive environments. Furthermore, it offers intrinsically improved flame retardancy, which increases safety in various application areas, and improved demolding in injection molding processes. Despite this unique combination of properties, the material retains the high dimensional stability typical of polycarbonate and is easy to process. It also exhibits excellent heat resistance, making it suitable for applications with high temperature requirements. As a versatile thermoplastic, our high-performance polymer can be used in demanding applications in electronics for durable housings, in electrical components, in medical technology, as well as in sports equipment.
