XANTAR® Polycarbonate

Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics's XANTAR® Polycarbonate is a versatile thermoplastic resin suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be converted using all common melt-processing techniques. The XANTAR® product line consists of general purpose and special grades.

Although the XANTAR® portfolio covers a wide range of applications, specific requirements such as special flame retardancy regulations or extreme temperatures, or processing techniques like blow moulding, extrusion, or rotational moulding, may require fine-tuning or adaptation of a grade. This has resulted in a series of special tailor-made XANTAR® grades.

For example, the XANTAR XRM product line offers excellent solutions for very high demands related to mechanical performance at both high and extreme low temperatures, as well as excellent long-term performance. For extrusion applications, optimised grades are available for solid sheet, twin wall sheet, and UV cap layer co-extrusion. Other special extrusion grades are suitable for applications where severe flame retardancy requirements must be met.

For other applications, where temperature requirements are less stringent, PC blends such as PC/ABS or PC/PET may provide excellent alternative possibilities.

In those situations where the extensive portfolio may not immediately meet your needs, contact us to discuss options beyond standard listings.
