LEXAN™ 244R US FDA Compliant Transparent Clear Polycarbonate Resin

Formulated Easy Release, UL Rated with Good Impact Resistance

LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent Polycarbonate Grade developed for applications requiring Food Contact Compliance, balanced Medium-Flow Processing, and improved Flame Performance. Designed for General-Purpose Injection Molding, LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin combines Optical Clarity, Mechanical Durability, and Regulatory Compliance, making it suitable for both Consumer and Industrial applications.

A Key Advantage of LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin is its US FDA Food Contact Compliance, allowing the material to be considered for components used in Food Handling, Storage, Dispensing, and Consumer-Contact applications. This makes LEXAN™ 244R Resin an attractive Solution where material Safety, Transparency, and Long-Term reliability are important Requirements.

The Medium-Flow characteristics of LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin provide a balanced Molding Profile that supports reliable Cavity Filling while maintaining Dimensional Accuracy. This enables manufacturers to produce consistent Molded Parts across a Wide range of Geometries without Sacrificing Processing Stability.

To Enhance Manufacturing Efficiency, LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin is formulated with easy Release Technology. This Feature Promotes Smoother Mold Release and reduces Part Adhesion to Tool Surfaces, helping Improve Cycle Consistency and Overall Production Productivity. As a Result, LEXAN™ 244R Resin supports both efficient Processing and reliable Part Quality.

The Transparent Clear appearance of LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin offers excellent Optical Clarity and Light Transmission. Whether used in Food-Contact Products, Consumer Goods, or Industrial Components, the material provides a Clean Visual appearance while maintaining the Toughness Expected from Engineering-Grade Polycarbonate.

Beyond its Clarity, LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin delivers good Impact Resistance, enabling components to withstand Handling, Assembly, and Routine Service Conditions. This combination of Durability and Transparency Expands the range of applications where the material can be Successfully Utilized.

A Distinguishing Feature of LEXAN™ 244R Resin is its UL94 V-2 Flame Classification, providing enhanced Flame performance compared with standard HB-Rated Grades. This allows LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin to Satisfy applications requiring a combination of Food-Contact Compliance, Transparency, and improved Fire Performance.

For Flame Performance, LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin Achieves UL94 V-2 Classification from 0.75 mm to 6.00 mm Thickness.

LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin is also RoHS Compliant, supporting alignment with Global Environmental and Regulatory Requirements.

Typical applications for LEXAN™ 244R Polycarbonate Resin include Food Containers, Beverage Dispensing Components, Transparent Housings, Consumer Products, Appliance Parts, Reusable Containers, and General-Purpose Molded components where Food-Contact Compliance, Optical Clarity, Impact Strength, and improved Flame performance are required.
