LEXAN™ Copolymer EXL9414TRC

Chemical Family: Polycarbonate (PC)

SABIC's Specialties Business LEXAN™ EXL9414TRC resin grade is a 21% PCR(Post Consumer Recycle) contain halogen-free flame retardant polycarbonate featuring transparency, -40 degree C ductility and UL-94 V0 rating for injection molding applications. Excellent impact combined with good flow, all transparent colorability for esthetics and thin wall flame retardant makes this product an excellent candidate for thin wall 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.
