LNP™ ELCRIN™ EXL5689BL

Sustainable Grade

ELCRIN EXL5689BL polycarbonate (PC) resin is a GF reinforced, UV stabilized, flame retardant injection molding copolymer blend with partial component synthesized from bio-source. This medium flow resin features UL94 V0 @ 1.5mm flame retardancy based on non-chlorine, non-bromine FR agents with good processability and improved release performance. ELCRIN EXL5689BL resin offers much improved impact strength and ductility over conventional GF reinforced PC resins. This product is targeted for a broad range of applications, including electrical and electronic enclosures among others.
