Special Polycarbonate (PC) Resin Panlite®

Introduction and Features

Panlite® SP series is a grade developed for optical lenses.

Realizing a high refractive index and low birefringence, it is suitable for making cameras smaller, thinner, and with higher performance.
It also has high heat resistance and is suitable for applications that require long-term reliability.
