APEL™ APL8008T

APEL™ APL8008T by Mitsui Chemicals is a high density, amorphous, norbornene-type cyclo olefin copolymer (COC) resin. Possesses excellent electrical insulating properties, good melt processability, flowability, good clarity, excellent dimensional stability and transparency. Is optically isotropic, non polar and is developed using Ziegler polymerization technology. Offers high glass transition temperature (Tg), exceptional moisture impermeability and impressive gas barrier qualities. Exhibits outstanding moisture resistance, excellent chemical-, acid-, alkali-, alcohol-, ketone-, ester-, humidity and heat resistance. Provides low coefficient of linear expansion, good thermal, dielectric & electrical behavior, low shrinkage and low moisture absorption. Shows a light transmittance (91%), lower birefringence (less than 5 nm) and the highest refractive index (1.54) among commercialized COCs and other cyclo olefin polymers. Is suitable for processing by film extrusion. APEL™ APL8008T is recommended for sheet and film.
