LNP™ ELCRES™ EXL5389

Lexan EXL5389 polycarbonate (PC) resin is a GF reinforced, medium flow, flame retardant injection molding copolymer blend offering excellent processability and improved release performance. It is UV stabilized, custom colourable resin with a UL94 V0 rating at 1.5mm based on non-chlorine, non-bromine FR agents. Lexan EXL5389 resin offers much improved impact strength and ductility over conventional GF reinforced PC resins. This product is an excellent candidate for a broad range of applications in Mobility, including EVSE and electrical and electronic enclosures among others.
