LEXAN™ XHT5141 Opaque Color Polycarbonate Resin. Copolymer High Heat

Unique Haze Onset of 185°C, High Flow. Extreme High Heat 180°C

LEXAN™ XHT5141 Polycarbonate Resin is an Opaque High Heat Polycarbonate Copolymer engineered for applications requiring Continuous Thermal Resistance Up to 180°C, Exceptional Surface Stability, and Dependable Structural Performance. as One of the Highest Temperature-Capable Grades within the XHT family, this Engineering Thermoplastic is developed for components Operating in Environments where Conventional Polycarbonate Materials Reach their performance Limits.

The Defining Characteristic of LEXAN™ XHT5141 Polycarbonate Resin is its ability to maintain performance during Prolonged exposure to Elevated Temperatures. With a Continuous use Temperature of Up to 180°C, the material helps preserve Mechanical Integrity, Dimensional Stability, and Functional reliability in demanding Industrial, Automotive, and Electrical applications.

Another Key Advantage of LEXAN™ XHT5141 Polycarbonate Resin is its High Haze Onset Temperature of approximately 185°C. This allows Molded components to retain their Surface appearance and Visual Consistency even when exposed to sustained Thermal Loading. The enhanced Haze Resistance makes the material particularly suitable for applications where Cosmetic Quality is Expected throughout Long Service Life under High-Temperature Conditions.

The material combines its Thermal capability with balanced Flow Characteristics, enabling efficient Mold Filling and consistent Processing across a Wide range of Part Geometries. stable Molding behavior supports Repeatable Manufacturing Quality while Accommodating the demanding requirements of High-Performance Engineering applications.

The Polycarbonate Copolymer Structure provides reliable Impact Resistance and Dimensional Stability, allowing components to withstand Mechanical Loading while maintaining accurate alignment during Continuous Heat Exposure. This balance of Toughness and Thermal Endurance contributes to Dependable Long-Term performance in Structural applications.

Unlike Conventional Engineering Polycarbonate Materials, LEXAN™ XHT5141 Polycarbonate Resin Extends Operating capability into Extreme Temperature Environments, Giving Designers greater flexibility when Selecting Materials for components Positioned Near Heat Sources or subjected to Continuous Thermal Cycling.

The material is not UL94 Rated, Reflecting its Design Focus on Maximum Heat Resistance rather than Flame-Retardant Performance. It is also RoHS Compliant, supporting Global Environmental and Regulatory Requirements.

Typical applications for LEXAN™ XHT5141 Polycarbonate Resin include Automotive Under-Hood Components, Industrial Machinery, Electrical Housings, Thermal Management Systems, and Heat-Resistant Structural Parts where Continuous 180°C Performance, Dimensional Stability, and Long-Term appearance Retention are critical Design Requirements.

In High-Temperature Engineering Projects, LEXAN™ XHT5141 Polycarbonate Resin is selected when Long-Term Thermal Stability Takes Priority over Conventional material Limitations. Its ability to maintain Mechanical Performance, preserve Surface Quality, and withstand Continuous Heat exposure makes it a reliable Choice for components Expected to perform Consistently throughout Extended Service Life in demanding Thermal Environments.
