• Outline of Panlite ®
AD-5503
Panlite AD-5503 is an optical grade polycarbonate resin, which has been recognized for many years as
the substrate for compact discs. Today, it is applied for Magneto-Optical Discs, Mini discs, DVD-Video,
and DVD-ROM.
Panlite AD-5503 is also used for various lenses, prisms and other optical devices in addition to optical
discs.
• Features of Panlite ®
AD-5503
1 Low level of contamination, foreign matter and impurities assures products of superb optical charac-
teristics.
2 Holds high level of transparency in a wide range of wavelengths from near ultra-violet to near infrared
rays.
3 Least intra- and inter-lot quality dispersion enables continuous production with stability.
4 Excellent moldability renders stable production of moldings with minimum optical strain.
• Molecular Structure of Panlite ®

AD-5503
Panlite AD-5503 is a homopolymer formed basically from bisphenol A of extra high purity. It retains

2. Optical characteristics of Panlite® AD-5503
Panlite AD-5503 has a high refractive index and low dispersion, in comparison with other plastics. Due
to the large photoelasticity, Panlite AD-5503 has a high sensitivity to optical strain (birefrigence) against
residual stress from molding. This calls for careful selection of the molding conditions. Residual stress
from the molding can be detected with ease by monitoring birefrigence, however.
• Panlite ®
AD-5503 spectral light transmittance
Panlite AD-5503 has ample transmittance for a wide range of near ultraviolet, visible, and near infra-
red rays. Its exceptional light transmittance makes it an ideal material for next-generation blue laser
technologies.

3. Moisture absorption of Panlite® AD-5503
• Drying properties of Panlite ®
AD-5503
When molding Panlite AD-5503, it is necessary to reduce the moisture content to 0.015% or less with
predrying. To reduce the moisture content to under 0.015%, drying is required for 4 hours at a tem-
perature of 120°C. More efficient drying can be effected if a dehumidifier type of drying machine is
used.
Care should be taken not to allow pellets to absorb moisture again after drying.

Preproduction for AD-5503
Equipment to hang the flexible container
Appropriate way to transfer the resin to the receiving tank unit,
1) Hang the big bag using all 4 rings.
2) To avoid the big bag from saving or dropping, place a supporting stand.
3) Apply a cover on the receiving unit during the exchanging process of the flexible container, to avoid
contamination from entering the receiving unit.

Drying condition
The moisture content of polycarbonate resin depends on atmosphere condition.
However, at room temperature is between 0.12% to 0.21%.
In order to avoid problems such as bubbles, silver streaks, which are a result of hydrolysis, you should
control the moisture content to be below 150 ppm at drying.
We recommend to use a hopper dryer system with low due point air (< -20°C).
Optimum drying temperature is between 120°C (248F) to 125°C (256F).
Do not heat over 125°C to prevent pellets from sticking.
The drying time must be at least 4 hours before injection molding.

Conclusion
•The deflection (Radial tilt) of DVD-5 bonded disc is

affected by the deflection of metalized substrate.
• The bonded discs have bigger vertical deviation
(Tangential tilt) than the substrate of 0.6 mm
thickness.
