Styron CALIBREâ„¢ 701 15 Polycarbonate, General Purpose

CALIBRE® 701 series polycarbonate resins are a general purpose, transparent, ignition resistant grades equipped with a mold release package. The CALIBRE 701 series resins exhibit a high heat resistance, high clarity and are rated V-0 at 3.2 mm according to UL-94(1).The CALIBRE 701 resins are typically used in applications like electrical components and in building and construction areas due to the increasing ignition resistance requirements.Available Melt Flow Rate: 15.(1) These numerical flame spread ratings are small scale test values and are not intended to reflect hazards presented by these or any other materials under actual fire conditions.Ignition resistant chemical additives increase resistance to burning from minor flame sources and permit properly manufactured end products to meet the requirements of certain flammability tests, but resins will burn rapidly under the right conditions of heat and oxygen feed.Data provided by Dow Chemical.This product line was spun off from Dow Chemical to Styron in 2010.
