CYCOLOY™ FR Resin CX2142ME

CYCOLOY CX2142ME Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC/ABS) blend is an injection moldable, high flow, non chlorinated/brominated flame retardant grade. It has a UL94 V0@1.2mm and 5VB@2.0mm flame rating. This grade has improved chemical resistance compared to standard PC/ABS blends and is a good candidate for thin wall applications and hospital/medical equipment.
