LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Copolymer. 80% Post Consumer Recycled

Low Temperature -40° Celsius Ductility. UV Stabilizer Opaque Color

LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Resin is a Polycarbonate Siloxane Copolymer engineered with 80% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content using Certified Mechanical Recycling. This Opaque Engineering Resin is designed for applications requiring Maximum Sustainability Integration, Environmental Durability, and Dependable Mechanical Performance, making it a High-Impact material Choice for ESG-Driven and Circular Economy Product Strategies.

With One of the Highest Levels of Recycled content in the Portfolio, LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Resin enables manufacturers to significantly reduce Virgin material Usage and Overall Environmental Footprint. Despite its Ultra-High PCR Content, the material maintains consistent performance Characteristics, supporting reliable Part Functionality and stable Production Outcomes in demanding applications.

A Key performance Feature of LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Resin is its ability to deliver reliable Impact Resistance at -30°C. This ensures Molded components remain Tough and resistant to Cracking in Moderate Cold Environments, supporting stable Operation in Outdoor and Temperature-Variable Conditions.

To Enhance Long-Term Service Performance, LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Resin Incorporates UV Stabilization, providing Protection against Sunlight-Induced Degradation. This helps maintain Mechanical Integrity, Surface Quality, and Dimensional Stability over Extended Outdoor Exposure.

Even at very High Recycled content Levels, LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Resin retains balanced Strength and flexibility through its Siloxane-Modified Copolymer Structure. This allows components to withstand Mechanical Loading and Environmental Variation while maintaining Long-Term Durability.

Processing behavior is controlled through stable Flow Characteristics, enabling consistent Mold Filling, Predictable Shrinkage, and Repeatable Part Geometry. This supports Manufacturing reliability in applications where Dimensional Consistency is Critical.

The Resin is supplied in Opaque Color Formulations, ensuring uniform appearance and controlled material Consistency for Sustainability-Focused Product Designs.

From a Regulatory Perspective, LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Resin Achieves a UL94 HB Flame Rating from 0.75 mm to 3.00 mm and is RoHS Compliant, supporting Global Environmental and Product Compliance Requirements.

Typical applications for LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Resin include Automotive Components, Industrial Equipment, Consumer Products, Outdoor Housings, and Sustainable Engineering applications where Ultra-High Recycled Content, Environmental Resistance, and Mechanical reliability are required.

Overall, LEXAN™ EXL8483 Polycarbonate Resin delivers a Strong combination of 80% PCR Integration, Environmental Durability, and consistent Mechanical Performance, providing manufacturers with a Leading Solution for High-Sustainability Engineering without Compromising Real-World Functionality.
