LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Copolymer. 50% Post Consumer Recycled

Low Temperature -40° Celsius Ductility. Low Flow and Opaque Color

LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin is a Polycarbonate Siloxane Copolymer Containing 50% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content Produced through Certified Mechanical Recycling. Developed for manufacturers Pursuing Ambitious Sustainability Targets, this Opaque Engineering Resin combines High Recycled content with Dependable Impact Performance, Dimensional Stability, and Processing Consistency for Automotive, Industrial, and Consumer applications.

With 50% Certified PCR Content, LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin helps manufacturers reduce Reliance on Virgin Materials while supporting Circular Economy Initiatives, ESG Objectives, and Lower Environmental Impact. The material demonstrates that High Recycled content can be achieved without sacrificing the performance Expected from Engineering Thermoplastics.

Cold-Weather Durability is a Defining Characteristic of LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin. The Siloxane-Modified Copolymer maintains excellent Impact Resistance at -40°C, helping Molded components Resist Cracking and Brittle Failure in demanding Outdoor, Industrial, and Low-Temperature Environments.

Unlike Higher-Flow Recycled-Content Grades, LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin features a Low Flow Profile that provides greater Control during Injection Molding. This Processing Characteristic supports improved Dimensional Accuracy, stable Part Geometry, and consistent Production of Precision-Molded and Structural Components.

The balanced combination of Impact Strength, Flexibility, and Toughness enables LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin to perform reliably under repeated Mechanical Loading and Temperature Fluctuations. These characteristics Contribute to Long-Term Durability across a Broad range of demanding applications.

Another Distinguishing Feature of LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin is its Thin-Wall Flame Performance, achieving a UL94 HB Rating from 0.40 mm to 3.00 mm. This allows Designers to develop Lightweight, Space-Efficient components while maintaining Dependable material performance and reducing Overall material Consumption.

To support consistent Product Appearance, LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin is supplied in Opaque Colors, making it suitable for applications requiring controlled Aesthetics together with High Recycled-Content Formulation.

Stable Molding behavior is Another Advantage of LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin. Predictable Shrinkage and controlled Processing characteristics Help manufacturers achieve Repeatable Quality, Tight Dimensional Tolerances, and efficient High-Volume Production.

From a Regulatory Perspective, LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin is RoHS Compliant, supporting Global Environmental Compliance while enabling manufacturers to meet demanding Recycled-Content Objectives.

Typical applications for LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin include Automotive Components, Consumer Products, Industrial Equipment, Outdoor Devices, Structural Parts, and Sustainable Engineering Plastic applications where 50% PCR Content, Low-Temperature Toughness, Dimensional Precision, and Lightweight Design are important Design Considerations.

By combining 50% Post-Consumer Recycled Content, excellent -40°C Impact Resistance, Low-Flow Processing, Thin-Wall UL94 HB Performance, and reliable Dimensional Control, LEXAN™ EXL8454 Polycarbonate Resin provides manufacturers with a Sustainable Engineering material that delivers Environmental Benefits alongside Dependable Long-Term Performance.
