3413R-131 PC Granules, Glass Fiber Reinforced 20% for Structural Components
Product Spotlights
As a specialized manufacturer, Shanghai Wenqin Plastics Co., Ltd. is dedicated to providing high-performance engineering plastic solutions. Our 3413R-131 PC Granules, Glass Fiber Reinforced 20% are engineered specifically for demanding structural applications. This material combines the inherent toughness and clarity of Polycarbonate with the significant strength and dimensional stability imparted by 20% glass fiber reinforcement, resulting in a compound ideal for components that must bear loads, resist deformation, and perform reliably in challenging environments.
We understand that structural integrity is non-negotiable. That's why our 3413R-131 formulation is processed under stringent quality controls, ensuring consistent pellet geometry, uniform fiber dispersion, and batch-to-batch reliability. Sourced from a company with a firm commitment to certified management systems including ISO9001 for quality and ISO14000 for environmental management, you can trust the material's performance and traceability.
Core Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- Enhanced Mechanical Properties: The 20% glass fiber loading dramatically increases tensile strength, flexural modulus, and creep resistance compared to unfilled PC, allowing for thinner wall designs and weight reduction without sacrificing performance.
- Superior Dimensional Stability: Exhibits low coefficient of thermal expansion and minimal moisture absorption, ensuring parts maintain precise dimensions and tolerances across a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels.
- Excellent Impact Resistance: Retains the good impact strength characteristic of Polycarbonate, even at lower temperatures, making it suitable for applications subject to sudden loads or shocks.
- Good Thermal Performance: Offers a higher Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) than standard PC, enabling use in higher temperature environments.
- Processability: Designed for smooth processing via injection molding, with good flow characteristics that help fill complex molds for intricate structural parts.

- Part Consolidation: Allows multiple metal parts to be replaced by a single, molded component, reducing assembly time and costs.
- Corrosion Resistance: Unlike many metals, PC-GF20 is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and does not rust, improving product longevity.
- Electrical Insulation: Provides good dielectric properties, suitable for structural parts in electrical enclosures or devices.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Offers a favorable balance of performance and price compared to other high-performance engineering plastics or metals.
Target Applications: This material is well-suited for structural components across various industries, including:
- Automotive: Bracket assemblies, connector housings, structural supports under the hood.
- Electrical & Electronics: Housings for power tools, circuit breaker components, structural frames for appliances.
- Industrial Equipment: Gear housings, pump components, conveyor parts, machine guards.
- Consumer Goods: Structural frames for furniture, sporting goods, and durable consumer products.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the main advantage of using 20% glass fiber reinforcement in PC?
A: The primary advantage is a substantial increase in stiffness (flexural modulus) and tensile strength, while maintaining good impact resistance. This makes the material suitable for load-bearing parts. -
Q: How does this material compare to unfilled Polycarbonate?
A: It offers significantly higher mechanical strength, better dimensional stability, and a higher heat deflection temperature. However, surface finish may show fiber patterns, and impact strength, while still good, is lower than unfilled PC. -
Q: Is this material suitable for outdoor applications?
A: Polycarbonate has inherent UV resistance, but for long-term outdoor exposure, UV-stabilized grades are recommended. Standard 3413R-131 can be used outdoors with proper design consideration or coatings. -
Q: What are the key processing considerations for injection molding PC-GF20?
A: Pre-drying is essential (typically 120°C for 3-4 hours) to prevent hydrolysis. Mold temperatures should be relatively high (80-110°C) to reduce internal stress and improve surface finish. Screw and barrel wear should be monitored due to the abrasive nature of glass fibers. -
Q: Can you supply custom colors?
A: Yes, we offer color masterbatch compounding services. Custom colors are available upon request, subject to minimum order quantity requirements. -
Q: What packaging is used, and what are the MOQ and lead time?
A: Standard packaging is 25 kg moisture-proof bags on pallets. Minimum Order Quantity and lead time can be discussed based on your specific needs and order volume. -
Q: Do you provide technical data sheets and material samples?
A: Yes, comprehensive Technical Data Sheets (TDS) are available for download or upon request. Material samples for trial evaluation can also be provided. -
Q: Are there other glass fiber content options available?
A: Yes, we can provide other formulations, such as PC with 10%, 30%, or other percentages of glass fiber reinforcement. Please inquire for specific grades.
