Product Specification: High-Flow, Halogen-Free Flame Retardant PC/ABS Alloy (Grade: HF1210)
1. Product Overview
PC/ABS HF1210 is a high-performance thermoplastic alloy blending Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS). This grade is specifically engineered with an advanced phosphorus-based halogen-free flame retardant system, ensuring full compliance with global environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH while achieving a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
The "HF" (High Flow) designation signifies its exceptional melt processability. HF1210 is designed for injection molding of large-scale or thin-walled complex parts, allowing for lower injection pressures, reduced internal stress, and shorter cycle times.
2. Key Features
Eco-Friendly (Halogen-Free): Contains no chlorine or bromine. It produces minimal smoke and zero corrosive toxic gases during combustion, meeting the "Green" procurement standards of the global electronics industry.
Superior Flowability (High Flow): Features an excellent Melt Flow Rate (MFR), enabling the filling of complex molds and thin-walled structures (down to 1.0mm - 1.2mm) with ease.
Balanced Mechanical Strength: Combines the high heat resistance and impact strength of PC with the excellent processability and low-temperature toughness of ABS.
High Fire Safety: Achieves UL 94 V-0 rating at thicknesses as low as 1.5mm, providing robust fire protection for sensitive electronic components.
Excellent Surface Quality: Offers a high-gloss, uniform finish. It is highly compatible with secondary processes such as painting, printing, or vacuum plating.
Stress Crack Resistance: Formulated to enhance resistance against chemicals and environmental stress cracking (ESCR).

4. Application Fields
Due to its eco-friendly flame retardancy and high-flow characteristics, HF1210 is the ideal choice for:
I. IT & Telecommunications
Typical Applications: Laptop housings, tablet bottom covers, internal smartphone frames, and 5G indoor router enclosures.
Benefit: Supports thin-wall designs for weight reduction while ensuring complex snap-fits do not crack.
II. Consumer Electronics & Office Equipment
Typical Applications: Printer and copier components, LCD monitor back covers, set-top box housings, and projector casings.
Benefit: High dimensional stability prevents deformation caused by heat generated during long-term operation.
III. Smart Home Appliances
Typical Applications: Smart socket panels, robot vacuum top covers, air purifier grilles, and coffee machine control board brackets.
Benefit: Passes rigorous Glow Wire Tests (GWT/GWIT) and provides a premium aesthetic finish.
IV. Battery & Power Solutions
Typical Applications: Power tool battery packs, portable power bank housings, and energy storage battery module brackets.
Benefit: Combines impact resistance with high-level flame retardant safety.
5. Processing Recommendations
Drying: PC/ABS is hygroscopic. Dry at 90-100°C for 3-4 hours. Ensure moisture content is below 0.02% to prevent hydrolysis.
Melt Temperature: 240°C - 270°C.
Mold Temperature: 60°C - 90°C. Higher mold temperatures improve surface gloss and reduce molded-in stress.
Back Pressure: Keep back pressure low to avoid degradation of the flame retardant additives caused by high shear.
