“XANTAR™ K series,” high-performance polycarbonate resin from the Mitsubishi Chemical Group has been adopted for the casing (back panel) of the "Nothing Phone (2a)". It is a smartphone from NOTHING, a digital products company based in London, UK.
Excellent Transparency and Electrical Properties
XANTAR™ is a high-performance polycarbonate resin with excellent transparency, impact resistance, flame retardancy, heat resistance, and electrical properties, and has been used in a wide range of applications for many years. “XANTAR™ K series” is a special polycarbonate resin that was developed by the MCG Group using polymerization and compounding technologies that the Group cultivated over many years.
Compared to general polycarbonate resins, “XANTAR™ K series” has higher surface hardness. It is increasingly being adopted for smartphone casings and automobile interior parts, etc., as a material with improved scratch resistance, which is a weakness of general polycarbonate resins.
NOTHING sells smartphones with advanced technology and innovative designs, and the “Nothing Phone (2a)” has the unique feature of a transparent casing and a luminous back. This is the first time that XANTAR™ has been adopted in NOTHING's smartphones, and was selected because of the highly acclaimed features of transparency, surface hardness, and workability of the XANTAR™ K series.
Broad Portfolio with In-demand Properties
The MCG Group also offers a broad lineup of products to meet customer needs, including those with high flame resistance, low dielectric dissipation factor, low birefringence, selective wavelength absorption, water repellency, and recycling.
As a specialty materials group dedicated to offering innovative solutions, the MCG Group is committed to delivering high-performance products like XANTAR™.
