Pocan XHR grades


In the third generation of our Pocan HR grades, XHR (eXtreme Hhydrolysis-Resistant) stands for improved or extended hydrolysis resistance in several respects.

The new PBT product range Pocan XHR is proving a practical all-rounder regarding

- Benefits for thermal shock stresses
- Excellent long-term temperature stability; high elongation at break
- Improved chemical resistance, e.g. for use in suspension applications
- Flame-retardant variants added to XHR product range

The following grades are currently available:

Pocan
	B1205XHR	PBT, non-reinforced	technical data sheet
	B3216XHR	PBT, 16% glass fibers, improved impact strength	technical data sheet
	B3233XHR	PBT, 30% glass fibers, improved flowability	technical data sheet

Flame-retardant XHR compounds soon to be launched

In response to requests from customers, LANXESS is currently adding more flame-retardant compounds to the XHR product range. They are particularly well suited to live components in hot and humid conditions, which have to exhibit excellent hydrolysis stability and fire resistance at the same time.
The flame-retardant compounds are reinforced with glass fibers (GF15, GF25, GF30). An unreinforced version of the product will also be available. All materials are equipped with a halogenated flame-retardant package and achieve the top classification of V-0 with low specimen thicknesses according to flammability tests in line with US standard UL 94 (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.). This classification is required for many plastic components in batteries of electric and hybrid vehicles, for example.
