“XANTAR K Series” High-performance Polycarbonate Resin Adopted in the Nothing Phone (2a), a Smartphone from the U.K.
June 20, 2024
“XANTAR™ K series,” high-performance polycarbonate resin from the Mitsubishi Chemical Group*1 has been adopted for the casing (back panel) of the "Nothing Phone (2a)," a smartphone from NOTHING, a digital products company based in London, UK.
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, and the product 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. 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.
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.
As a specialty materials group dedicated to offering innovative solutions, the MCG Group is committed to delivering high-performance products like XANTAR™.
