PC/ABS Alloy: The Future Material for Lightweight, Durable Drone Enclosures
November 20, 2025

  From aerial photography to agricultural irrigation, emergency rescue to power line inspection—drones have become indispensable across industries. As global drone market size is projected to hit $320 billion by 2030 , manufacturers are racing to optimize component materials. For drone enclosures, PC/ABS alloy (PCABS blend) has emerged as the superior choice, replacing heavy metals like aluminum and titanium. As a joint venture with Chi Mei Corporation, Qingdao Zhongxin Huamei Plastic Co., Ltd. delivers premium PC/ABS solutions tailored for UAV applications.

Why Metal Enclosures Are Being Phased Out

Traditional metal materials fail to meet modern drone requirements:

  • Excessive weight increases energy consumption, cutting flight time by up to 40%

  • High density limits payload capacity for mission-critical equipment

  • Poor corrosion resistance shortens lifespan in harsh outdoor environments

  • Complex machining drives up production costs compared to plastic alternatives

PC/ABS Alloy: The Ideal Drone Enclosure Material

Our PC/ABS blend solves these pain points with unmatched performance:

  • Ultra-Lightweight Design: Density of 1.18-1.22 g/cm³ (40% lighter than aluminum), extending drone by 25-30%

  • Exceptional Durability: Impact strength ≥ 60 kJ/m², passing 1.5m drop tests while maintaining structural integrity

  • Environmental Stability: Heat distortion temperature (HDT) ≥ 110°C, resistant to chemicals and UV radiation

  • Superior Processability: Ideal for injection molding with precise dimensional control (tolerance ±0.02mm)

  • Enhanced Safety: UL94 V0 flame-retardant rating (1.6mm) to prevent fire spread

  • Electromagnetic Shielding: Integrates conductive additives to protect internal electronics from interference

Trusted by Global Drone Makers: Zhongxin Huamei’s Advantages

As a Chi Mei joint venture with 29 years of modified plastics expertise:

  • Customization Capabilities: Tailor color, flame-retardant grade, and mechanical properties to your specs

  • R&D Strength: 30+ engineers specializing in UAV material formulation

  • Quality Assurance: 60+ testing devices (including impact testers and HDT analyzers)

  • Production Scale: 20+ lines with 100,000+ tons annual output for stable supply
