Our manufacturing and supply chain processes align with current environmental management standards, aiming to minimize ecological impact while assisting customers in achieving their sustainable procurement and green manufacturing compliance goals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the recommended drying procedure prior to injection molding?
A: Due to the hygroscopic nature of PC-1100, drying before processing is mandatory to prevent hydrolytic degradation. The recommended procedure is: use a desiccant dryer to dry the material at 120°C for at least 4 hours, maintaining a dew point of -40°C or lower. Please verify that the residual moisture content of the material is below 0.02% before injection molding.
Q2: Is it possible to request a Certificate of Origin (COO) and third-party verification reports?
A: Yes. In addition to standard TDS and MSDS documentation, we can provide a Certificate of Origin (COO) and assist in arranging specific third-party testing or compliance verifications (such as UL, NSF) based on customer requirements to meet destination port customs clearance or specific industry entry standards.
Q3: Compared to high viscosity grades, what is the difference in thin-wall molding capability for PC-1100?
A: Lotte PC-1100 has a melt flow index of 10 g/10min, which belongs to the high viscosity flow grade. Compared to medium flow grades (such as PC-1220), PC-1100 is slightly inferior in its filling capability for thin-walled structures and complex geometries, but it offers higher melt strength and impact resistance. Material selection should be evaluated based on the flow length requirements of the finished part and structural stress analysis.
