Specialty Copolymer Resins offer extreme performance capabilities.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:38:28 -0500

Optimized for high melt flow without any decrease in toughness, Lexan HFD resins also exhibit ductility that does not negatively affect melt flow. Chemistry permits use down to -40°C and combines 2 monomers to ensure performance in demanding applications. Offered in 5 grades with up to 5% bio content and with/without UV stabilizers, resins allow for creation of thinner-wall parts without risk of cracking upon mold removal. Properties also reduce molded-in stress to avoid birefringence.
