Disclaimer: The technical specifications for Lotte Chemical Infino® NH-1015 PC/ABS presented herein are derived from data issued by Lotte Chemical or certified third-party testing institutions. While we have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information provided, we assume no liability for any consequences arising from the use of Infino® NH-1015 PC/ABS based on these data. Given the variables involved in processing conditions, we strongly recommend conducting thorough trials of Infino® NH-1015 PC/ABS under your specific operational environment prior to final material selection.
Applications & Processing Guidelines
- Recommended Application Scenarios / End Products:
- Electrical & Electronics Field: Power adapter housings, low-voltage circuit breaker components, server and router structural parts, and other electronic enclosures requiring high flame-retardant standards.
- Office & Household Equipment: Internal and external support components for printers and copiers, alongside heat-resistant parts for small home appliances demanding dual criteria in mechanical strength and fire safety.
- Operational Processing Essentials:
- Drying Treatment: PC/ABS resin exhibits hygroscopic properties and must undergo sufficient drying prior to processing to prevent surface silver streaks or bubble defects on molded parts.
- Melt Flow and Temperature Control: This grade features a melt flow rate of 24 g/10min under 220 °C / 10 kg conditions, showing favorable fluidity. Multi-stage injection temperature settings and mold designs should properly match molding temperatures and cooling cycles with its 98.0 °C Vicat softening point to prevent excessive internal stress.
Logistics, Packaging & Compliance
- Packaging Specifications: Standard industrial packaging consists of 25kg moisture-proof composite paper bags or inner plastic film linings, satisfying moisture-proof and breakage-resistance requirements during long-distance ocean and land transport.
- Hazardous Material Attributes: This product belongs to non-hazardous chemicals, maintaining stable properties under normal storage and transport conditions, and does not fall under dangerous goods transportation categories.
- Routine Delivery Lead Time Range: Spot inventory can typically be arranged for dispatch within 3 to 7 working days following order confirmation; custom or futures orders depend on specific production scheduling (generally 2 to 4 weeks).
- Maritime and Land LCL/FCL Shipping Instructions: Supports Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL) sea and land shipping services, with palletized packaging available to accommodate customer requirements.

- Complies with international environmental and supply chain compliance requirements, supporting REACH regulations and RoHS directive declarations to align with the ESG and sustainability standards of global industrial clients.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Must Lotte Chemical Infino® NH-1015 PC/ABS be dried prior to injection molding?
A: Yes. Because the PC/ABS alloy matrix possesses moisture-absorbing characteristics, excessively high raw material moisture content can easily induce hydrolysis during high-temperature injection molding, resulting in surface silver streaks, bubbles, or diminished mechanical properties. It is recommended to employ dehumidifying drying equipment for standard pre-heating and drying prior to processing.
Q2: What standards encompass the core flame-retardant advantages of this grade?
A: This product possesses superior fire-retardant properties. Under UL 94 standard testing, it attains V-0, 5VB, and the highest-grade 5VA flame retardancy certifications at varying thicknesses, making it highly suitable for industrial enclosures and structural parts facing strict regulatory requirements for electrical and electronic fire safety.
Q3: How can official TDS, MSDS, and compliance documentation for this grade be acquired?
A: You can directly submit a data request through our independent site inquiry system. TaiKuo New Materials will provide complete official technical documents (TDS), MSDS, alongside RoHS and REACH compliance declarations to assist your project in completing regulatory reviews.
Q4: Are samples supported for pilot-scale or trial evaluations prior to bulk procurement?
A: Yes, we support this. We understand that high-polymer material performance validation prior to actual mass production is critical; therefore, we can provide compliant laboratory testing samples for industrial clients with genuine procurement demands, though sample material costs and freight charges are to be borne by the customer. Specific sample application guidelines and logistics arrangements can be coordinated directly with our overseas sales engineers.
