LEXAN™ XHT4143 Opaque Color Polycarbonate Resin. Copolymer High Heat

High Flow Performance, Added UV Stabilizer. Extreme High Heat 175°C

LEXAN™ XHT4143 Polycarbonate Resin is an Opaque Polycarbonate Copolymer engineered to deliver Extreme High Heat Resistance, UV Durability, and consistent Processing Performance. This Non-Reinforced Grade is designed for applications Operating at Temperatures Up to 175°C, while maintaining Stability under Environmental exposure such as Light and Outdoor Conditions.

For applications combining Intense Thermal Stress with Environmental Exposure, maintaining both Structural Integrity and Surface appearance is Critical. This formulation Incorporates a UV Stabilizer, helping to reduce Discoloration and degradation caused by Prolonged Light Exposure. as a Result, components preserve Mechanical properties and Visual Consistency, even in Outdoor or High-Temperature Environments.

The Resin Exhibits Good Flow Characteristics, enabling reliable Filling of Molds across a Variety of Geometries. This supports efficient Processing while maintaining Dimensional Accuracy, allowing manufacturers to achieve consistent Part Quality and stable Production Cycles. It is particularly suitable for applications that require a balance between Thermal capability and Manufacturability.

With its ability to withstand Continuous High-Temperature exposure Up to 175°C, the material retains its Shape and performance in demanding Environments where standard Polymers Would Soften or Deform. This makes it especially Effective for components Operating Near Heat Sources or in Systems exposed to Prolonged Thermal Loading.

Mechanically, the Copolymer Structure provides balanced Impact Resistance and Dimensional Stability, ensuring that Parts maintain alignment and Durability over time. This supports reliable Assembly performance and Extended Service Life across a Wide range of applications.

From a Flame performance Standpoint, LEXAN™ XHT4143 Polycarbonate Resin Achieves UL94 HB Rating from 1.50 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness, making it suitable for applications where Basic Flame Classification is sufficient without requiring Flame-Retardant Additives.

The material is also RoHS Compliant, aligning with Global Environmental and Regulatory Standards.

This Grade is commonly applied in Automotive Under-Hood Components, Outdoor Housings, Electrical Parts, and Industrial Equipment where Extreme Heat Resistance, UV Stability, and consistent Processing performance must be achieved together.
