LEXAN™ 953A Polycarbonate. Transparent Halogenated Flame Retardant

General Purpose High Viscosity with Added Easy Release & UV Stabilizer

LEXAN™ 953A Polycarbonate Resin is a General Purpose Transparent Polycarbonate Grade Developed for Applications requiring Excellent Optical Clarity, Enhanced UV Durability and Reliable Flame Retardant Performance. This Clear Engineering Thermoplastic Combines High Viscosity Characteristics with added Easy Release Technology and UV Stabilization, making it suitable for Electrical, Electronic and Industrial Components that demand Long-Term Reliability and Regulatory Compliance.

The High Viscosity Formulation of LEXAN™ 953A provides Excellent Melt Strength and Processing Stability, Supporting the Production of Precision Components with Consistent Quality. This Characteristic is Particularly Beneficial for Applications requiring Enhanced Structural Integrity while maintaining Excellent Surface Appearance and Dimensional Accuracy.

A Key Advantage of LEXAN™ 953A is its Exceptional Optical Transparency. The Clear Polycarbonate Structure delivers High Light Transmission while Retaining Outstanding Impact Resistance and Toughness. This Combination makes it suitable for Transparent Covers, Viewing Windows, Protective Guards and Electrical Components where Visibility and Durability are Essential.

added Easy Release Technology Improves Manufacturing Efficiency by Facilitating Smooth Part Ejection during Injection Moulding Operations. This Processing Benefit helps Reduce Production Interruptions, Improve Cycle Consistency and Minimize the Risk of Surface Defects or Part Damage during Processing.

LEXAN™ 953A Incorporates a UV Stabilizer Package that Enhances Resistance to UV Exposure and Environmental Aging. This Additional Protection helps Maintain Transparency, Surface Appearance and Mechanical Properties over Extended Service Life, making the Material suitable for Applications exposed to Light and Controlled Outdoor Conditions.

The Material Utilizes a Halogenated Flame Retardant System that delivers Reliable Fire Safety Performance while maintaining Excellent Optical and Mechanical Properties. Its Flame Retardant Characteristics Enable Use in Applications requiring Compliance with Stringent Safety Standards without Compromising Product Performance.

LEXAN™ 953A Polycarbonate Resin also supports Responsible Manufacturing through RoHS Compliance. By Promoting Long Product Service Life, Supporting Regulatory Requirements and Reducing Material Replacement Frequency, it helps Manufacturers Develop Sustainable Products that Benefit Current Industries and Future Generations.
