Introduction
TRIREX is the registered trademark of polycarbonate resin manufactured by Samyang Corporation. TRIREX polycarbonate resins offer superior transparency, mechanical properties, good dimensional stability and high electrical performance, which allows it to be widely used for electrical, electronic, appliance, automotive and optical industries.
Characteristics Applications
Exhibits a more outstanding impact
resistance than any other plastics.
Electric/Electronics
(Connector, Lamp parts, Gear, Fan,
Drill housing, Camera, Light cover).
Can be applicated over a wide
temperature range.
Sheet/Film.
Dimensional stability through a wide
range of moisture, temperature.
Food Containers.
Excellent transparency so it is widely
used for optical applications.
Automotive(Lamp lens & housing).
Self-extinguishing plastic.
High weather resistance properties.
Widely used for food contact parts.
THe electrical properties of Trirex do
not change over a wide range of
temperature.
