LEXAN™ Copolymer ML7689

LEXAN ML7689 polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin IS a high viscosity injection molding (IM) grade WITH good processability, offering opportunities FOR shorter IM CYCLE times compared TO standard PC resins. This resin offers extreme low temperature (-40 degree C) ductility. LEXAN ML7689resin IS FDA/EU FC compliant available IN OPAQUE colors ONLY AND IS an excellent candidate FOR food contact applications.
