LNP™ ELCRES™ SLX1271D
- Chemical Family
- Polycarbonate (PC)
SABIC's Specialties Business LNP ELCRES SLX1271D is a low viscosity, weatherable polycarbonate copolymer blend with enhanced UV stabilization available in diffusive colors. It offers the potential for selective plating on PC/ABS in intricate geometries via a 2K molding process. The material is an ideal material for automotive exterior applications. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during SHPP’s manufacturing process and are not expected to contain unintentional PFAS impurities. Each user is responsible for evaluating the presence of unintentional PFAS impurities.
