LEXAN™ 104 Polycarbonate. Transparent Clear Resin. Low Flow FDA Grade

LEXAN™ 104 Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent Polycarbonate Grade developed for applications requiring Food Contact Compliant, High Melt Strength, and Dependable Processing Versatility. This General-Purpose material is suitable for both Injection Molding and Extrusion, offering a combination of Optical Clarity, Mechanical Durability, and Regulatory Compliant for Food-Related applications.

For Products used in Food Handling, Storage, and Consumer Contact Environments, material Safety and Consistency are Essential. This Grade is formulated to support Food Contact Compliant, making it a suitable Choice for applications where Regulatory Acceptance and Long-Term material reliability are important Design Considerations.

The Resin features a High Viscosity, Low Flow Profile, providing enhanced Melt Strength during Processing. This Characteristic helps maintain Dimensional Stability in Extruded Profiles, Thicker Molded Components, and Structural Parts, where controlled material behavior contributes to improve Part Quality. The increased Melt Strength also supports consistent Processing performance across a Variety of Manufacturing Conditions.

Transparency is a Key Feature of this Grade, allowing components to achieve excellent Visual Clarity and Light Transmission. This makes the material well suited for applications where Product Visibility, Inspection Capability, or a Clean Aesthetic appearance is required alongside Mechanical Toughness.
The Polycarbonate Structure delivers good Impact Resistance and Long-Term Durability, enabling Parts to withstand repeated Handling and Everyday Service Conditions. Components maintain their Integrity and Dimensional Accuracy, supporting reliable performance throughout their Operational Life.

Because the material is suitable for both Extrusion and Injection Molding, manufacturers benefit from greater Design flexibility when producing different Product Formats from a Single Resin Platform. This Versatility makes the Grade attractive for a Wide range of Consumer and Industrial applications.

From a Flame performance Standpoint, LEXAN™ 104 Polycarbonate Resin Achieves UL94 HB Rating from 0.70 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness, making it suitable for applications where Basic Flame Classification is Sufficient.

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

Typical applications include Food Contact Containers, Beverage Dispensing Components, Transparent Covers, Extruded Profiles, Consumer Products, and Industrial Parts where Clarity, Toughness, Regulatory Compliant, and Processing flexibility are required.
