What your process engineer actually checks
Optical clarity and heat you can trust
HF1130 is a UV-stabilized polycarbonate: high flow (25 MFR) for thin-wall lenses and housings, with clarity, impact strength, and heat resistance (130°C RTI) that hold up indoors and out. Drying is critical — every unit ships with the schedule that keeps parts clear and strong.

About this product
Polycarbonate HF1130 Natural is a UV-stabilized, high-flow polycarbonate injection-molding resin — clarity, heat resistance, and high impact strength with the dimensional stability engineers expect from PC. Based on the widely used LEXAN™ HF1130 grade.
Why engineers choose PC HF1130
Optical-grade polycarbonate that flows easily and holds up indoors and out.
High flow (25 MFR)
Fills thin-wall lenses and complex housings quickly, so cycle times stay short even on detailed geometry.
Clarity & UV stability
Good light transmission that is stabilized against yellowing, for lenses, diffusers, and outdoor covers.
High impact & heat
Tough polycarbonate with a 130°C RTI for demanding electrical and elevated-temperature parts.
Dimensional stability
Holds tolerances for precision housings, connectors, and covers where fit and repeatability matter.
How we supply it

Common questions
Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.
Do I need to dry Polycarbonate HF1130 before molding?
Yes, and drying is critical for polycarbonate. Dry HF1130 for 3–4 hours at 120°C to below 0.020% moisture before molding. Wet PC hydrolyzes in the barrel, causing splay, bubbles, and a large drop in impact strength. Each 2 lb unit ships with the recommended drying and molding parameters.
What melt and mold temperatures does PC HF1130 need?
Polycarbonate HF1130 molds at a melt temperature of 270–295°C (518–563°F) with a mold temperature of 70–95°C (158–203°F). A warmer mold improves surface gloss and optical clarity on lenses and diffusers. These are starting points — a materials engineer can help tune them for your part.
What is Polycarbonate HF1130 used for?
HF1130 is a versatile polycarbonate for lenses and light diffusers, automotive interior and exterior parts, electrical connectors and housings, medical and healthcare components, appliances, and outdoor enclosures. Its clarity, impact strength, and 130°C RTI suit demanding indoor and outdoor use.
Is HF1130 clear, and will it yellow outdoors?
The natural grade of HF1130 offers good light transmission and clarity, and it is UV-stabilized for enhanced property retention outdoors. That stabilization resists the yellowing untreated polycarbonate can show under sunlight, which is why it is used for lighting, signage, and outdoor covers.
How is Polycarbonate HF1130 packaged and what is the minimum order?
HF1130 ships in sealed 2 lb units, and the minimum order is 5 units (10 lbs total). Larger volumes and official purchase orders are welcome — contact us for volume pricing. Material ships from US stock, typically within 1–2 business days.
Will PC HF1130 run on the APSX-PIM desktop molder?
Yes. HF1130 is formulated for desktop and standard injection molding, including the APSX-PIM. Because polycarbonate must be dried thoroughly, pair it with a dryer oven for consistent clarity and strength. Our team can confirm shot size and parameters for your mold.
How should I store Polycarbonate HF1130 pellets?
Store HF1130 in its sealed unit in a cool, dry place, and keep bags closed until use. Polycarbonate picks up moisture from the air, so re-dry any exposed material before molding. Properly stored and dried pellets deliver consistent clarity, impact strength, and surface finish.
