LEXAN™ Copolymer ML0992

LEXAN ML0992 is a translucent impact modified polycarbonate injection molding (IM) grade with release properties. This resin offers good low temperature ductility in combination with medium flow characteristics, excellent surface aesthetics, excellent knit line strength, and excellent processability with opportunities for shorter IM cycle times compared to standard IM PC resins. LEXAN ML0992 resin is a general purpose product available for wide range of opaque colors and may be an excellent candidate for a broad range of applications. .
