CYCOLOY™ CX2142ME Resin. Thin Wall, Improved Chemical Resistant PC/ABS

Non-Chlorinated, Non-Brominated FR PC/ABS with Low Viscosity

CYCOLOY™ CX2142ME PC/ABS Resin is a Non-Chlorinated, Non-Brominated Flame Retardant PC/ABS Material Engineered for Thin Wall Molding applications where Safety, Regulatory Compliance, and Durability are Essential. This Grade is formulated with Low Viscosity to Improve Flow in Complex or Narrow Mold Designs, enabling manufacturers to Achieve Lightweight, Thin-Wall Parts without Sacrificing Structural Integrity.

CYCOLOY™ CX2142ME PC/ABS Resin also offers improved Chemical Resistance, making it Suitable for Environments frequently exposed to Cleaning Agents, Especially within Healthcare and Hospital Applications. Specifically Targeted for General Hospital Cleaners, this Material withstands repeated exposure to Disinfectants, Alcohol Wipes, and Medical Sanitation Chemicals, ensuring Long-Term Performance and Appearance Retention for Medical Housings and Equipment Components.

CYCOLOY™ CX2142ME PC/ABS Resin Belongs to the Broader CYCOLOY™ Family, a High Performance Polycarbonate and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC/ABS) Resin blend known for combining the Exceptional Mechanical and Thermal Performance of Polycarbonate with the Processing Ease and Aesthetic Advantages of ABS. The Polycarbonate component contributes High Heat Resistance, Strong Rigidity, Dimensional Stability, and Excellent Ductility at Ambient Temperatures, making it ideal for Parts that Face Mechanical Stress or Elevated Temperatures. Meanwhile, the ABS Component enhances overall Processability, enabling Easier Molding, Faster Cycle Times, and Smoother Surfaces. It also Improves Low Temperature Ductility, Surface Gloss, and Chemical Resistance, Creating a Balanced Resin System Optimized for both Appearance and Performance.

CYCOLOY™ as a Product Family is Widely used across Appliances, Electronics, Automotive Interiors, Healthcare Devices, and Industrial Components due to its reliable Toughness, Heat Stability, and Ability to Resist Chemical Attack. CYCOLOY™ Materials are Recognized for maintaining High Impact Strength even in Low-Temperature Environments, Supporting applications that require Resistance to Drops, Shocks, and Demanding Mechanical Conditions.

Their Excellent Chemical Resistance makes them particularly Popular for Housings Exposed to Oils, Detergents, Alcohol Solutions, and Industrial Cleaning Agents. Many CYCOLOY™ Grades, Including CX2142ME, are available in Flame Retardant formulations, with Non-Chlorinated and Non-Brominated options that meet Strict Global Environmental and Safety Standards. CX2142ME Delivers UL94 V-0 Performance in Thin-Wall Sections, Helping Manufacturers meet Regulatory Requirements in Safety-Critical Designs.

Another Key Advantage of CYCOLOY™ Materials is their Superior Aesthetic capability. They offers Option for High-Gloss, Low-Gloss, or Textured Finishes and Support Secondary Operations such as Printing, Painting, and in Some Cases, Metallization for Premium Visual Effects. CYCOLOY™ Resins also Provide Consistent Electrical Insulation Properties, making Them Suitable for Electronic Housings and Components that require both Mechanical Strength and Dielectric Reliability.

Additionally, CYCOLOY™ Supports Excellent Colorability, Enabling Precise Color Matching and Consistent appearance across multiple production Batches. With a wide variety of Grades Available—Ranging from High Flow Solutions for Thin-Wall Molding to UV-Stabilized Outdoor Versions and Chemically Resistant Grades for Healthcare—CYCOLOY™ Continues to be one of the Most Versatile and Trusted PC/ABS Material Families in the Market.
