LEXAN™ XHT3143T Transparent Polycarbonate Resin. Copolymer High Heat
High Flow Performance, Added UV Stabilizer. Extreme High Heat 165°C
LEXAN™ XHT3143T Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent High Heat Polycarbonate Copolymer engineered for applications requiring Continuous Thermal Resistance Up to 165°C, Optical Clarity, and Long-Term Environmental Durability. This Non-Reinforced Engineering Thermoplastic is designed for Transparent components Operating in Environments where both Heat exposure and Visual performance must be maintained over Extended Service Life.
A Key Feature of LEXAN™ XHT3143T Polycarbonate Resin is its ability to Combine Transparency with Elevated Temperature Resistance. With Continuous Operating capability Up to 165°C, the material supports Structural Integrity in applications where standard Transparent Polycarbonate Grades Would typically Experience Softening, Distortion, or Loss of Dimensional Stability.
To Enhance Outdoor Performance, LEXAN™ XHT3143T Polycarbonate Resin Incorporates UV Stabilization, helping reduce Yellowing, Surface Degradation, and Loss of Optical Clarity caused by Prolonged exposure to Sunlight or Artificial Lighting. This ensures consistent Transparency and Visual performance in both Indoor and Outdoor Environments.
The material offers balanced Flow Characteristics, enabling efficient Mold Filling and stable Replication of Part Geometry. This supports consistent Dimensional Accuracy and High-Quality Surface Finish, particularly in Transparent components with Moderate Design Complexity or Thin-Wall Structures.
The Copolymer Structure provides reliable Impact Resistance and Dimensional Stability, allowing Parts to maintain Shape, Alignment, and Functional Integrity during Continuous exposure to Elevated Temperatures. This contributes to Dependable performance in applications requiring both Clarity and Durability.
Unlike Higher-Temperature Transparent XHT Grades, LEXAN™ XHT3143T Polycarbonate Resin is Positioned as a 165°C-Capable Solution optimized for UV Resistance and General High-Heat Transparency, offering a practical balance between Performance, Durability, and Processability.
The material is not UL94 Rated, Reflecting its Focus on Thermal, Optical, and Environmental performance rather than Flame-Retardant Classification. It is also RoHS Compliant, supporting Global Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Requirements.
Typical applications for LEXAN™ XHT3143T Polycarbonate Resin include Transparent Housings, Lighting Systems, Protective Covers, Outdoor Equipment, and Industrial Viewing components where Clarity, UV Resistance, and 165°C Thermal performance are required.
For Engineers Developing Transparent Systems exposed to both Heat and Environmental Stress, LEXAN™ XHT3143T Polycarbonate Resin provides a Dependable balance of Optical Clarity, Thermal Stability, and Weather Resistance, enabling consistent performance in Real-World Operating Conditions.
