LEXAN™ HFD4471 Unique Transparent Clear Polycarbonate Copolymer Resin

10% Glass Reinforced. Low Temperature -10 °C Ductility. Medium Flow

LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent Polycarbonate Copolymer Reinforced with 10% Glass Fiber and Impact Modification, engineered to deliver a balanced combination of Structural Strength, Toughness, and controlled Processing Performance. LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin is designed for applications requiring Mechanical reliability and Dimensional Stability without Relying on Ultra-High Flow Processing Behavior.

A Key Advantage of LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin is its Reinforced Impact-Modified Structure, which Improves Energy Absorption and reduces the Risk of Brittle Failure under Mechanical Stress. components Made from LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin maintain Structural Integrity under repeated Impact and Dynamic Loading Conditions, making the material suitable for demanding Functional Environments.

The material features a Medium Flow Profile, Giving LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin greater Processing Control compared to High-Flow Alternatives. This enables stable Mold Filling Behavior, improved Dimensional Accuracy, reduced Flashing, and consistent Part Quality, especially in Geometries requiring Precision and Repeatability.

In Low-Temperature Environments, LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin maintains Ductility Down to -10°C, allowing Parts Produced from LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin to retain flexibility and Avoid Brittle Fracture under Mild Cold Exposure. This ensures reliable performance in applications with Moderate Temperature Variation.

Although Reinforced, LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin retains a Level of Transparency that supports applications where Visual Access, Alignment, or Functional Visibility is required. This allows LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin to serve Designs that Combine both Optical and Mechanical Requirements.

From a Mechanical Standpoint, LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin provides a balanced combination of Stiffness, Impact Resistance, and Dimensional Stability. Parts Produced with LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin maintain Geometry over time, supporting accurate Assembly Fit and Long-Term Functional Durability.

In Terms of Flame Performance, LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin Achieves a UL94 HB Rating from 0.40 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness, making it suitable for applications where Basic Flame performance is sufficient without Flame-Retardant Additives. LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin is also RoHS Compliant, aligning with Global Environmental and Regulatory Standards.

Typical applications for LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin include Transparent Reinforced Housings, Impact-Resistant Covers, Industrial Components, and Precision Structural Parts where a balance of Toughness, Stiffness, and controlled Processing is required.

At its Core, LEXAN™ HFD4471 Polycarbonate Resin Functions as a Reinforced Transparent Engineering material that combines Structural Reinforcement, Impact Modification, and stable Processing behavior for Durable, Precision-Driven applications.
