General Info
Ardel® PolyArylate D-100 offers outstanding performance characteristics when exposed to environments that contain ultraviolet lighting. This polymer has shown a better retention of gloss, lower haze and light transmission in accelerated aging testing than polycarbonate. The 8000 hour test conducted on polyarylate showed only a slight loss in properties when compared to a 2000 hour test and 90 percent loss of the original notched Izod strength with polycarbonate. This inherent UV stability combined with superior retention of optical and mechanical properties make polyarylate an ideal choice for any application where weathering effects could pose a problem.
Key Properties
- Ardel® PolyArylate outperforms many other engineering thermoplastics with a HDT measured value of 345°F (174°C) at 264psi
- Underwriters Laboratory RTI (Relative Temperature Index) of 266°F (130°C) for electrical and mechanical properties.
Limitations
Applications
