Description

LEXAN 953A Polycarbonate (PC) resin is a non-filled, injection moldable grade. This brominated flame retardant PC has a V0 UL rating and is UV stabilized, providing additional weathering capability. LEXAN 953A resin is available in limited transparent and tinted color options and is a general-purpose resin that is an excellent candidate for a wide variety of applications. As a non-chlorinated, non-brominated flame retardant solution, LEXAN 955AU resin could be considered an alternative.

This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
