Mitsubishi Chemical’s high-performance PC adopted in the Nothing Phone (2a)
XANTAR K series, a high-performance polycarbonate (PC) resin from the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, 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.

High-performance PC resin from the Mitsubishi Chemical Group is adopted for the casing of Nothing Phone (2a).
XANTAR is a high-performance PC resin with excellent transparency, impact resistance, flame retardancy, heat resistance and electrical properties.
XANTAR K series is a special polycarbonate resin that was developed using polymerization and compounding technologies. Compared to general PC resins, XANTAR K series has higher surface hardness and therefore, it provides improved scratch resistance.
As Nothing Phone (2a) has the unique feature of a transparent casing and a luminous back. XANTAR K series was selected due to its transparency, surface hardness and workability.
The MCG Group also offers a broad lineup of products, including those with high flame resistance, low dielectric dissipation factor, low birefringence, selective wavelength absorption, water repellency, and recycling.
