LEXAN™ BM5225Y Polycarbonate. Opaque Non Halogenated Flame Retardant

Non-Brominated Non-Chlorinated Flame Retardant. Thin Wall Low Warpage

LEXAN™ BM5225Y Copolymer Polycarbonate Resin is a High performance Engineering Thermoplastic developed for applications requiring excellent Flame Retardancy, High Stiffness, Superior Processability and Low Warpage Performance. This Opaque Copolymer Polycarbonate Grade Utilizes a Non-Chlorinated and Non-Brominated Flame Retardant System, making it an excellent Choice for Thin-Wall Electrical, Electronic and Industrial components where Dimensional Precision and Mechanical reliability are Critical.

A Key Advantage of LEXAN™ BM5225Y is its High Modulus Performance, which provides enhanced Stiffness and Structural Integrity compared with standard Flame Retardant Polycarbonate Materials. This Characteristic helps components maintain Shape Accuracy and Mechanical Strength even in demanding Operating Environments.

LEXAN™ BM5225Y delivers Good Flow Characteristics, allowing efficient Injection Moulding of Complex and Thin-Wall Designs. The improved Flow performance supports Complete Mould Filling, consistent Surface Quality and excellent Dimensional Accuracy while maintaining High Production Efficiency.

The material also offers excellent Ductility, providing a valuable combination of Stiffness and Toughness. Components Manufactured from LEXAN™ BM5225Y are better able to Absorb Mechanical Stress without Premature Failure, supporting Long-Term Product Reliability.

A Distinctive Feature of LEXAN™ BM5225Y is its Low Warpage Performance. This Property helps Minimize Distortion during Processing and Cooling, making the material suitable for Precision components requiring Tight Tolerances and consistent Assembly Fit.

The Non-Chlorinated and Non-Brominated Flame Retardant Technology supports Modern Environmental and Regulatory requirements while delivering reliable Fire Safety Performance. This Non-Halogenated formulation provides UL94 V-0 Flame Retardancy without Compromising Mechanical Performance, Processability or Dimensional Stability.

LEXAN™ BM5225Y Copolymer Polycarbonate Resin also supports Responsible Manufacturing through RoHS Compliance. Its combination of efficient Thin-Wall Processing, Long Product Service Life and Restriction of Hazardous Substances helps manufacturers develop Sustainable Products that benefit Industries and Future Generations.
