Typical values and performance ranges are provided for grade selection. Custom formulations can be adjusted to application requirements. Final properties follow the selected grade TDS and are not specification guarantees.
- This table applies only to CH5227L. Refer to the separate TDS for any other grade.
- Typical values from the named grade sheets are selection references, not universal material properties or purchase guarantees. Confirm color, specimen and test conditions for the offered grade.

Storage & Handling
PC is extremely moisture-sensitive. Must use desiccant dryer. Store sealed. Excessive moisture causes silver streaking and bubbles in molded parts.

Product Overview
Automotive lighting grade PC (UV-stable) selection starts with a named grade, wall thickness and service conditions. The linked Cangzhou Dahua FEISHI CH5227L sheet reports 89% light transmittance under ISO 13468 at 1 mm, haze below 0.8% under ISO 14782 at 2 mm, and notched Izod 64 kJ/m² under ISO 180 at 23°C. Optical values measured at different thicknesses are not interchangeable. The supplier sheet lists UV stability, suiting headlight lenses and outdoor meter covers; validate long-term outdoor life in the target environment.
For clear covers, inspection windows and lighting components, check molded-part clarity, residual stress, cleaner exposure and outdoor aging before approval. The sheet specifies drying at 120°C for 4–5 hours, injection at 280–300°C and mold temperature at 80–120°C; confirm the offered grade and equipment before the trial. HDT at a test load is not a continuous-use temperature.
For a quotation, send the grade, color, wall thickness, service conditions, monthly volume and destination. Food-contact, toy and medical uses require documents for the exact grade, color and market; optical and impact results do not establish regulatory approval.
Applications in Detail
Part trials and approval checks
For lighting covers, guards and windows, check residual stress, mold release, flow marks and contact media on molded samples. Validate outdoor lifetime against the intended exposure instead of inferring it from a light-transmittance figure. For food-contact or medical projects, confirm documents for the exact grade and color before scheduling the finished-part validation; a generic PC label is insufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I confirm the grade and test conditions?
Match the PDF to the offered grade and color, then check specimen size, method and conditions. Typical values guide selection; they are not guaranteed values for every material in the family.
What information is needed for a quote and trial?
For a quotation, send the grade, color, wall thickness, service conditions, monthly volume and destination. Food-contact, toy and medical uses require documents for the exact grade, color and market; optical and impact results do not establish regulatory approval.
