LEXAN™ 103 Polycarbonate. Transparent Clear. Low Flow UV Stabilized

For Injection Molding or Extrusion with It's Unique High Viscosity

LEXAN™ 103 Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent Polycarbonate Grade developed for applications requiring Optical Clarity, UV Durability, and Strong Melt Strength for both Extrusion and Injection Molding Processes. This General-Purpose material combines the Toughness Expected of Polycarbonate with enhanced Resistance to Light Exposure, making it suitable for components that demand Long-Term appearance Retention and Dependable Mechanical Performance.

Designed with a High Viscosity, Low Flow Profile, the Resin provides excellent Melt Strength during Processing. This Characteristic is particularly beneficial for Extrusion applications, Thicker Molded Sections, and Parts requiring improved Dimensional Stability, where controlled material behavior is critical to achieving consistent Product Quality. The Low Flow Nature of the material also supports Better Shape Retention during Processing.

A Key Advantage of this Grade is the Incorporation of UV Stabilization, which helps reduce Discoloration, Yellowing, and Property degradation caused by prolonged exposure to Ultraviolet Light. This enables components to maintain their Transparency and Visual appearance for Longer Periods, making the material suitable for applications exposed to Indoor Lighting or Moderate Outdoor Conditions.

The Transparent formulation delivers excellent Light Transmission and Visual Clarity, supporting applications where Visibility, Aesthetics, or Inspection capability are Important. Combined with the Inherent Toughness of Polycarbonate, this allows Designers to achieve a balance of Strength, Durability, and Optical performance within a Single material Solution.

From a Mechanical Standpoint, the Resin offers good Impact Resistance and Long-Term Dimensional Stability, allowing Parts to withstand Handling, Assembly, and Everyday Service Conditions. This contributes to reliable performance across a Broad range of Industrial and Consumer applications.
Compatible with both Injection Molding and Extrusion, this Grade provides Manufacturing flexibility for Companies producing Multiple Product Formats from a Common material Platform. This Versatility helps Simplify material selection while maintaining consistent performance Characteristics.

For Flame Classification, LEXAN™ 103 Polycarbonate Resin Achieves UL94 HB rating from 0.75 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness, making it suitable for applications where Basic Flame performance is Sufficient.

The formulation is also RoHS Compliant, supporting alignment with Global Environmental and Regulatory Standards.

Typical applications include Extruded Profiles, Protective Glazing, Lighting Components, Transparent Housings, Machine Guards, and Industrial Covers where UV Stability, Clarity, and Processing Versatility are required.
