LEXAN™ ML7689 Opaque Color Polycarbonate Resin. Copolymer FDA Grade

Food Contact Compliant. Low Temperature -40 °C Ductility. Low Flow

Lexan™ ML7689 Polycarbonate Resin is an Opaque Copolymer Polycarbonate designed for applications where Food Contact Compliance, Low Temperature Durability, and controlled Processing behavior must be achieved together. The material is engineered to meet U.S. Fda and Eu Food Contact Requirements, supporting Safe use in Regulated Environments where Hygiene and material reliability are Essential.

For Systems Involving Direct or Indirect Food Contact, Compliance Alone is not Enough—Stable Long-Term performance is Equally Critical. Lexan™ ML7689 Polycarbonate Resin maintains Mechanical Integrity under repeated use while Meeting Regulatory Standards, allowing components to perform reliably in Food Handling, Storage, and Processing applications.

A Defining Strength of Lexan™ ML7689 Polycarbonate Resin is its Low Temperature Performance. The material retains Ductility Down to -40°C, enabling components to remain Flexible and resistant to Cracking in Cold Storage, Refrigeration, and Freezing Conditions. This ensures Durability during both Operation and Handling in Extreme Environments.

Processing behavior is Intentionally controlled through a Low Flow, High Viscosity Profile. This results in Higher Melt Strength, allowing Better Shape Retention during Molding, especially in Thicker Sections. The material supports Precise Part Formation where Dimensional Stability and deformation Resistance are more important than Rapid Filling Speed.

Mechanical performance remains consistent across Service Conditions. The Copolymer Structure provides good Impact Strength and Structural Durability, allowing components to maintain Integrity during repeated use and under Mechanical Stress. This contributes to Dependable performance in demanding and Regulated applications.

Unlike Flame-Retardant-Focused Grades, Lexan™ ML7689 Polycarbonate Resin is not Ul94 Rated, as its formulation Prioritizes Food Safety, Cold Performance, and Processing Stability rather than Fire Classification.

The material is also RoHS Compliant, supporting Environmentally Responsible material selection and alignment with Global Regulatory Requirements.

Typical applications include Food Contact Components, Containers, Processing Equipment Parts, and Cold-Storage Systems where Compliance, Low Temperature Toughness, and Structural Stability must be Delivered together.

Lexan™ ML7689 Polycarbonate Resin provides a Focused combination of Regulatory Compliance, controlled Processing, and Extreme Cold Durability, making it a reliable material Solution for Food-Related and Low Temperature applications.
