Polycarbonate Resin

Features

Iupilon and Novarex can be used within a temperature

range of -40℃ to +120℃. They have a strong design

as their mechanical properties allow for linear

changes to adjust to this wide temperature range.

Iupilon and Novarex generally do not include large

amount of additives and have no toxicity. Thus, they

have been widely accepted for food containers and

medical applications. Also, we offer grades

according to FDA standards.

Iupilom and Novarex have the best impact resistance

among engineering plastics. Their impact resistance

at down to -40℃ is still about the same as it at room

temperature.

Iupilon and Novarex are essentially self-extinguishing

plastics, and they have been accepted for electric use,

automotive use, and building materials which have a

danger of fire.

Iupilon and Novarex are tranceparent, and have

been widely used as an alternative for inorganic

glass for optical use. The transmission factor of

radiant energy is around 80% to 90%, which is

about the same as acrylic.

Iupilon and Novarex are weather resistant (UV

resistant), and their weather-resistance grades are

highly recommended for various uses such as

outdoor uses, lighting covers, office equipment,

and automotive lamps (ML grades).

Iupilon and Novarex can be applied with various

colors, resulting in a glossier appearance than any

other plastics.

Iupilon and Novarex have well-balanced electrical

properties. Since the electrical properties of

Iupilon and Novarex do not change over a wide

temperature range, they are highly recommended

as insulating material.

Iuoilon and Novarex are amorphous resins and

have excellent dimensional accuracy. In addition,

Iupilon and Novarex’s low water absorption makes

dimensional changes and creep deformation

extremely small. This means Iupilon and Novarex

are well suited for high precision parts.

Mechanical Properties

PVT Curve

PVT : Pressure Volume Temperature

Generally, molecular weight of 20,000 to 30,000 is appropriate.

Iupilon and Novarex have the same level of melt

viscosity as other thermoplastics under a temperature

range of 280℃ to 300℃.
