What is Lexan resin?
Lexan is a polycarbonate resin thermoplastic. In a nutshell, what that means is that it’s a solid substance that can deform in extreme heat (typically 147 degrees Celsius, or 297 degrees Fahrenheit) and whose molecules are comprised of repeating subunits.
What is Lexan 123R?
LEXAN 123R is a low viscosity multi purpose U.V. stabilized grade and contains a release agent to ensure easy processing. LEXAN 123R is available in transparent, translucent and opaque colours. General. Material Status.
Is Lexan RoHS compliant?
LEXAN H6500 sheet is an opaque, solid, low-gloss PC/ABS blend that delivers high stiffness for railway sidewalls, tables and seating. Its sustainable fire retardance meets the requirements of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive and it delivers non-chlorinated and non-brominated product technology.
How can you tell the difference between Plexiglass and Lexan?
Lexan is the strongest and can withstand impacts to such a degree that it won’t crack. Instead, it displays resistance by bending. Plexiglass is still quite strong, but it may crack or chip, given enough time or impact. That’s because it’s a little less rigid than Lexan.
Is Lexan a food grade?
Lexan™ 9440/9444 is formulated to meet the requirements of specialty applications as food handling/contact, medical device/apparatus, and other clean room needs. Lexan™ 9440/9444 sheet complies with FDA food additive regulations (21 CFR 177.1580) and meets USP-VI criteria.
What is high viscosity polycarbonate?
Unfilled Molding and Extrusion Resins, High Viscosity PC is a subcategory of Polycarbonate. The additative is added during the manufacturing process. Its flexural modulus ranges from 330 to 340 MPa. Its tensile strength ranges from 9100 to 10500 MPa at break.
What is the monomer of Lexan?

Can you use Windex on Lexan?
Cleaners such as Windex or 409 will harm your new piece of polycarbonate. Use only products specifically recommended for cleaning polycarbonate such as Novus #1, or Brillianize, and a soft cloth. (All are available in our showrooms and OnLine). Never use a dry cloth or your hand to clean your polycarbonate!
