LEXAN™ Copolymer EXL1132

LEXAN EXL1132 polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin is a high flow, UV stabilized injection molding grade. This resin offers good low temperature (-20 C) ductility in combination with high flow characteristics and excellent processability with opportunities for shorter IM cycle times compared to standard PC. LEXAN EXL1132 resin is a general purpose product available in a wide range of opaque colors and may be an excellent candidate for a broad range of applications.
