LEXAN™ EXL1162T Transparent Polycarbonate Resin. Low Temp Ductility

Improved Impact Strength. UL94 Rated HB with Unique MFI @ 20

LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent Siloxane Modified Polycarbonate material designed to deliver a Strong balance of Toughness, Chemical Resistance, and controlled Processing Performance. LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin is particularly suited for applications where Mechanical reliability must be maintained across varying Temperatures while preserving Optical Clarity and Dimensional Stability.

A Key performance Advantage of LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin is its ability to maintain Impact Strength at Low Temperatures. The material delivers reliable Impact performance Down to -20°C, allowing components to Absorb Stress without Brittle Failure. This Low Temperature Ductility makes LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin Ideal for applications exposed to Temperature Fluctuations and demanding Mechanical Conditions.

Unlike High-Flow Variants, LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin features a Medium Flow Profile, providing more controlled Processing Behavior. This allows Better Mold Filling Stability and improved Dimensional Control, supporting consistent Part Geometry and Repeatable Production Results. The controlled Flow of LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin is especially beneficial in Precision Molding applications.

Chemical Resistance is another important benefit of LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin. The material Demonstrates improved Resistance to Cleaning Agents and Industrial Chemicals, helping maintain Structural Integrity in Environments where Frequent Chemical exposure Occurs. This supports Longer Service Life and reliable performance in Real-World Operating Conditions.

The Siloxane Modified Structure enhances both flexibility and Toughness, allowing LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin to handle repeated Mechanical Stress without Cracking. This Characteristic Improves Durability across repeated use Cycles, making the material suitable for applications requiring Long-Term Mechanical Reliability.

Processing Efficiency remains Strong despite its controlled Flow. LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin supports Smooth Molding behavior and stable Production Output, helping manufacturers achieve consistent Quality and optimized Cycle time in Production Environments.

Optical performance is maintained through excellent Transparency, allowing LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin to be used in applications requiring Visibility, Inspection Capability, or Light Transmission. This makes the material suitable for Transparent components where Strength and Clarity must be Delivered together.

From a Safety Standpoint, LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin Achieves UL94 HB Rating from 1.50 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness. It is also RoHS Compliant, supporting Environmentally Responsible material selection and Global Regulatory Requirements.

Typical applications of LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin include Transparent Housings, Consumer Electronics, Automotive Interior Components, and Functional Covers where Toughness, Chemical Resistance, and Optical Clarity are Critical.

Overall, LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin provides a balanced combination of Low Temperature Toughness, controlled Processing Performance, and Chemical Durability. This makes LEXAN™ EXL1162T Polycarbonate Resin a reliable material Choice for applications requiring Transparent Strength, Precision Molding, and consistent Long-Term Performance.
