LEXAN™ EXL1494T Copolymer Transparent Resin. Food Contact Compliant

Low Temperature -40°Celsius Ductility, UL94 V2 Rated, Easy Release

LEXAN™ EXL1494T Polycarbonate Resin is an Opaque Polycarbonate Siloxane Copolymer engineered for FDA Food Contact Compliance, Extreme Low-Temperature Ductility, and reliable Processing Performance. This Engineering Thermoplastic is designed for use in Regulated Environments where Hygiene, Structural Durability, and Cold-Temperature Stability must be achieved Simultaneously.

In Food Handling, Processing, and Storage applications, Materials are Frequently exposed to Refrigerated or Deep-Cold Conditions while still requiring Mechanical Integrity. LEXAN™ EXL1494T Polycarbonate Resin delivers Dependable Impact Resistance at -40°C, allowing components to maintain Toughness and Resist Brittle Failure in Cold-Chain Environments.

A Defining Feature of LEXAN™ EXL1494T Polycarbonate Resin is its FDA Food Contact Compliance, enabling use in applications where Regulatory Approval, material Safety, and Hygienic performance are Essential. The formulation supports Clean, stable material behavior while maintaining the Mechanical Strength required for Structural components in controlled Environments.

Processing Efficiency is enhanced through Easy Release Performance, which supports Smooth Part Ejection and reduced Tooling Stress. This contributes to improved Cycle Stability, Higher Manufacturing Efficiency, and consistent Output in High-Volume Production Environments.

The Resin’s Medium Flow characteristics provide a balanced Molding Profile, ensuring controlled Cavity Filling and reliable Dimensional Accuracy. This supports consistent Part Geometry and Repeatable Quality in Opaque Structural Components.

The Siloxane-Modified Copolymer Structure enhances Impact Resistance and Flexibility, enabling Molded Parts to withstand repeated Mechanical Loading, Handling Stress, and Temperature Variation. This ensures Long-Term Durability across demanding Operational and Cleaning Conditions.

From a Dimensional performance Standpoint, LEXAN™ EXL1494T Polycarbonate Resin maintains stable Geometry during both Processing and End use, supporting accurate Assembly, Tight Fit, and reliable Long-Term Service Performance.

The material Achieves a UL94 V-2 Rating at 3.00 mm Thickness, providing Moderate Flame Resistance where required. It is also RoHS Compliant, aligning with Global Environmental and Regulatory Standards.

Typical applications for LEXAN™ EXL1494T Polycarbonate Resin include Food Contact Components, Industrial Containers, Appliance Housings, Cold Storage Equipment, and Structural Enclosures where Regulatory Compliance, Low-Temperature Toughness, and Mechanical Durability are critical Requirements.

Overall, LEXAN™ EXL1494T Polycarbonate Resin combines Food Safety Compliance, -40°C Impact Performance, and reliable Processing Behavior, offering a Dependable Engineering material for Regulated applications Operating in Cold and demanding Environments.
