LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate. Transparent Clear Resin. Linear High Flow
Unique Base Material for Production of Transparent and Opaque Products
LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin is a Low-Viscosity Linear Polycarbonate Grade developed as a Versatile Base Resin for the Production of both Transparent and Opaque Products. Designed to provide excellent Processing Efficiency and formulation Flexibility, LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin is well suited for manufacturers seeking a High-Flow material Platform for a Wide Variety of End-Use applications.
The Defining Characteristic of LEXAN™ 172L Resin is its Linear Molecular Structure combined with High-Flow Performance. This combination enables efficient material Movement during Processing, making LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin particularly attractive for applications where Productivity, Mold Filling, and Manufacturing Efficiency are important Considerations.
As a Base Material, LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin can be Utilized in the Production of both Transparent Clear components and Opaque-Colored Products, Giving Compounders and manufacturers greater Freedom in Product Development. The Versatility of LEXAN™ 172L Resin supports use across Multiple Industries where Customized appearance and performance requirements are Common.
The Transparent Clear Form of LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin provides excellent Optical Clarity and Light Transmission, making it suitable for applications where Visibility and Aesthetics are Important. At the same time, the Resin can serve as a Foundation for Opaque Formulations, Extending its usefulness across a Broader range of Product Categories.
From a Processing Perspective, LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin offers the Advantages of a Low-Viscosity Material, including easier Mold Filling and improved Flow through Complex Geometries. This can Help manufacturers achieve consistent Part Quality while supporting efficient Production Cycles.
Beyond its Processing Benefits, LEXAN™ 172L Resin retains the Inherent Toughness and Durability Associated with Polycarbonate Materials. Components Manufactured from LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin benefit from good Mechanical performance and reliable Long-Term Functionality.
Unlike Flame-Retardant Polycarbonate Grades, LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin is Primarily Positioned as a General-Purpose Base Resin and is Supplied as a , emphasizing formulation flexibility rather than Flame Performance.
LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin is also RoHS Compliant, supporting alignment with Global Environmental and Regulatory Requirements.
Typical applications for LEXAN™ 172L Polycarbonate Resin include Compounded Materials, Transparent Housings, Consumer Products, Industrial Components, Opaque Molded Parts, and Customized Polycarbonate Formulations where High Flow, Processing Efficiency, and material Versatility are Desired.
