LEXAN™ Copolymer EXL1182T

LEXAN EXL1182T polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin is a UV stabilized, enhanced release transparent injection molding (IM) 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 resins and may be an excellent candidate for a broad range of applications.
