LEXAN™ 161R Transparent Polycarbonate. General Purpose Medium Flow
Formulated Easy Release, UL94 HB Rated with Good Impact Resistance
LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent Polycarbonate Grade formulated for applications that require balanced Flow Characteristics, UV Durability, and efficient Injection Molding Performance. Combining Optical Clarity with good Mechanical Strength, LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin is a Versatile material suitable for a Wide range of General-Purpose Molded Components.
What Sets LEXAN™ 161R Resin Apart is its combination of UV Stabilization and easy Release Technology. The UV Stabilizer helps preserve the appearance and performance of Parts exposed to Indoor Lighting or Moderate Outdoor Conditions, reducing the Tendency for Yellowing and Long-Term Degradation. As a Result, LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin is a practical Choice for applications where maintaining Clarity and Aesthetics over time is Important.
Manufacturing Efficiency is further supported by the Inclusion of easy Release Additives. During Molding, LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin Promotes Smoother Part Ejection, helping reduce Mold Sticking and Improving Production Consistency. This Feature can Contribute to Shorter Cycle Interruptions and improved Overall Processing Productivity.
With its Medium-Flow Formulation, LEXAN™ 161R Resin offers a balanced Molding Profile that supports consistent Filling while maintaining Dimensional Control. This makes LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin suitable for components Ranging from Simple Geometries to Moderately Complex Molded Designs.
The Crystal-Clear Transparency of LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin enables excellent Light Transmission and Visual Quality. Whether used in Visible Consumer Products or Functional Transparent Components, the material provides a Clean appearance while Retaining the Toughness Associated with Polycarbonate Technology.
In addition to its Optical Performance, LEXAN™ 161R Resin delivers good Impact Resistance, allowing Parts to withstand Handling, Assembly, and Everyday Service Conditions. This balance of Durability and Clarity helps Ensure reliable Long-Term performance across a Variety of applications.
For Flame Performance, LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin Achieves UL94 HB Classification from 0.75 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness, making it suitable for applications where Basic Flame performance is Sufficient.
LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin is also RoHS Compliant, supporting alignment with Global Environmental and Regulatory Requirements.
Typical applications for LEXAN™ 161R Polycarbonate Resin include Transparent Housings, Lighting Components, Appliance Parts, Consumer Products, Protective Covers, Display Elements, and Outdoor-Facing Molded Parts where UV Stability, Optical Clarity, Impact Strength, and efficient Processing are required.
