LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin. Transparent Clear. Medium Flow

Ophthalmic & Safety Lenses, High Optical Quality & Refractive Index

LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin is a transparent optical-quality polycarbonate grade specifically engineered for eyewear, ophthalmic lenses, and safety lens applications. Developed to deliver exceptional visual performance, LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin combines high optical purity, integrated UV protection, and reliable processing characteristics to support demanding optical component manufacturing.

At the heart of LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin is its high optical quality formulation, which enables excellent transparency and visual clarity. The material is designed to minimize optical distortion, making it suitable for applications where accurate vision and lens performance are essential. Components produced from LEXAN™ OQ3420 Resin provide the clarity expected for premium ophthalmic and protective eyewear products.

A key advantage of LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin is its built-in UV blocking capability. This helps protect users from harmful ultraviolet radiation while allowing lens manufacturers to produce safer and more durable optical products. The combination of optical performance and UV protection makes LEXAN™ OQ3420 Resin particularly well suited for safety eyewear and vision-care applications.

The medium viscosity formulation of LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin provides a balanced processing window, offering reliable mold filling while maintaining excellent dimensional accuracy and surface quality. This processing control is important for precision lens manufacturing where consistency and optical performance are critical.

In addition, LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin offers a high refractive index, allowing designers to develop thinner and lighter lens designs while maintaining optical effectiveness. This contributes to enhanced comfort and aesthetics in modern eyewear products.

LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin is also RoHS compliant, supporting alignment with global environmental and regulatory requirements.

Typical applications for LEXAN™ OQ3420 Polycarbonate Resin include ophthalmic lenses, safety eyewear, protective visors, face shields, optical components, and precision vision-care products where clarity, UV protection, and optical performance are required.
