Can PC be used at a low temperature of -40 ℃

Can PC be used at a low temperature of -40 ℃? A few days ago at the Asia Pacific Rubber and Plastic Exhibition, a company consulted with the editor of Qingdao Prime about whether there is transparent PC material, that can be used in low temperature environments around -30~-40 ℃ without cracking.

The customer produces outdoor electricity meters, and the shell can choose PC/ABS alloy, but the perspective window needs to have good transparency and requires PC material. In extremely cold regions such as Northeast China and Russia, the outdoor temperature is very low, need the meter casing can be used normally in an environment of -40 ℃ without cracking. General PC materials cannot meet this requirement. The sales manager of Qingdao Prime recommended the SABIC LEXAN series of silicon containing PC materials to customer.

Silicone containing PC, also known as silicon copolymer PC, is a silicon containing PC that is block copolymerized with polydimethylsiloxane. By introducing organic silicon groups, the flexibility, hydrolysis resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and yellowing resistance of the copolymer silicon PC are greatly improved. At present, it has been widely used in various products such as 5G communication, electrical equipment, artificial intelligence, medical devices, VR devices, etc. And due to its excellent performance and transparency, the market prospects are broad. 

The SABIC low-temperature resistant silicon copolymer PC series has common models such as EXL1414, EXL1192C, EXL1132, EXL1330, 1173X, BX9394, etc.
