OKP Osaka Gas Chemicals OKP1 Optical Plastic, 1.642 Refractive Index – 25 kg bag

Osaka Gas Chemicals OKP Optical Plastics are high-purity, optically clear thermoplastics specifically designed for injection molding of high-performance optical components, such as phone and camera lenses and display backlights. OKP materials offer a high refractive index and light transmittance comparable to optical-grade polycarbonate. They also provide high heat resistance to withstand lead-free soldering processes and demonstrate excellent optical and thermal stability.

Benefits:

• High Refractive Index
• Enables injection-molded parts with minimal stress-induced distortion
• Offers a higher refractive index and lower birefringence than polycarbonate
• Rugged material designed for long-term service life
• Low Abbe Number allows for improved correction of chromatic aberration
• Ensures performance stability across various operating conditions
