    The growing use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in automotive lighting designs to achieve complex shapes has led to a rise in demand for high-performance thermoplastics that flow and are easy to demold


    .


    SABIC's ultra-high-flow polycarbonate (PC) resin products for automotive lighting bezels can achieve complex geometries, combine versatility, and are easy to produce


    .


    As LED performance improves, power consumption and cost decrease, it is becoming more and more practical in a variety of vehicle types


    .


    "To take full advantage of the complex designs of LEDs, lighting manufacturers need breakthrough materials," said Sergi Monros, vice president of SABIC's High Performance Polymers and Industrial Solutions business group


    .


    Among the PC resins produced by SABIC for automotive lighting, the melt volume ratio (MVR) test shows that LEXAN HF4010SR resin has high flowability


    .


    Brazilian lighting manufacturer Industrias Arteb SA recently used high-flow LEXANHF4010SR resin in the illuminated front apron of a new compact utility sports car


    .


    In addition, LEXAN HF4010SR resin can also meet the industry challenge of poor release of low draft angle PC parts


    .


    And the easy release properties of LEXAN HF4010SR resin result in faster demolding and reduced surface defects, even in challenging draft angles (0.
    5 to 1.
    0 degrees lower than the recommended PC draft angle) and thin-walled parts


    .


    SABIC said LEXAN HF4010SR resin complements SABIC's larger portfolio of high-flow thermoplastics with grades such as LEXAN HF1110R resin and LEXAN HF3510R resin
    .
    These grades can provide similar functionality to LEXAN HF4010SR resin, but they have different performance characteristics and can exhibit lower impact and chemical resistance
