Product catalog summary
Introduction

The Panlite SH grade is a polycarbonate material that has been optimized to achieve a pencil hardness of H, which is harder than standard polycarbonate. It maintains high clarity and impact resistance, making it suitable for applications without the need for additional hard coatings or painting. This reduces costs and environmental impact by eliminating the need for chemical solvents in secondary processes.


Features
  • Superior scratch resistance
  • Excellent transparency and a wide range of coloring options
  • Excellent flow ability, suitable for thin wall thickness products
  • High thermal resistance
  • Retains standard polycarbonate features

Surface hardness grade-1

Human Chemistry, Human Solutions Surface hardness grade | Introduction • Panlite SH grade has successfully achieved “Pencil hardness H” that is harder than standard polycarbonate by its molecular structure reviewed and optimized. The grade retains standard polycarbonate features such as high clarity and ball drop impact resistance. • Since the grade has aesthetic appearance and improved surface hardness, the grade can be used without applying hard coating or painting on its surface. Eliminating secondary process can be contribute to additional cost reduction. • The secondary processes require to use chemical substances like solvents, which environment unfriendly in general. Using SH grade can be contribute to keep the globe clean as well. | Features • Superior scratch resistance • Excellent transparency and wide range of coloring. • Excellent flow ability, suitable for thin wall thickness products. • High thermal resistance. • Retain standard polycarbonate features.
