LEXAN™ Copolymer FST3403T

LEXAN FST3403T is based on Polycarbonate (PC) copolymer high flow resin suitable for injection molding. This halogen-free flame retardant resin is EN45545 compliant and is an ideal candidate for train interior applications such as cladding with an R1 / HL3 rating (e.g. side panels & partition walls) and seating with an R6 / HL3 rating (e.g. back & base shells). It also meets requirements of NFPA-130 standards. Available in transparent and opaque colors.
