ELCRES™ EXL1212L Polycarbonate Resin Opaque Chemical Plating Grade

Medium to High Flow. High Impact, Low Temperature Ductility @ -20 °C

Decorative Plated components often demand more than Visual Appeal. The material must provide Strong Impact Resistance, good Plating Compatibility, and reliable Toughness at Low Temperatures. ELCRES™ EXL1212L Polycarbonate Resin Was developed with these requirements in Mind, offering a specialized Solution for Plated and Appearance-Critical applications.

ELCRES™ EXL1212L Polycarbonate Resin features a formulation optimized for Chemical Plating Processes, allowing manufacturers to produce Metallic-Looking components while Benefiting from the Lightweight and durable Nature of Polycarbonate. This makes ELCRES™ EXL1212L Resin particularly attractive for Automotive, Consumer, and Industrial applications where Decorative Finishes are Important.

A Notable Advantage of ELCRES™ EXL1212L Polycarbonate Resin is its improved Weld Line Appearance. Complex Molded Parts often Contain Weld Lines that can affect Surface Quality and Aesthetics. ELCRES™ EXL1212L Resin helps improve the Visual appearance of these Areas, supporting the Production of Premium-Looking finished Components.

The material offers a Medium to High Flow Processing Profile, enabling efficient Mold Filling while maintaining good Dimensional Accuracy. This allows ELCRES™ EXL1212L Polycarbonate Resin to perform well in components featuring Complex Geometries and demanding Surface Requirements.

Durability remains a Key Feature of ELCRES™ EXL1212L Resin. The material delivers High Impact Resistance and maintains Ductility Down to -20°C, helping Molded Parts Resist Cracking and Brittle Failure in Colder Operating Environments. This combination of Toughness and Low-Temperature performance supports reliable Long-Term Service in demanding applications.

Available in Opaque Colors, ELCRES™ EXL1212L Polycarbonate Resin is suitable for a Variety of Plated and Decorative components where Appearance, Impact Performance, and Processability must be balanced within a Single material Solution.

For Flame Performance, ELCRES™ EXL1212L Resin Achieves UL94 HB Classification from 0.40 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness.

ELCRES™ EXL1212L Polycarbonate Resin is also RoHS Compliant, supporting alignment with Global Environmental and Regulatory Requirements.
