LEXAN™ Copolymer EXL1613T

LEXAN EXL1613T polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin is a transparent injection molding grade. This resin offers extreme low temperature ductility in combination with medium flow characteristics and excellent processability with opportunities for shorter IM cycle times compared to standard PC. LEXAN EXL1613T resin is a general purpose product available in transparent and opaque colors and is an excellent candidate for a broad range of applications.
