Description

LEXAN EXL4019 is an opaque 9% Glass Fiber (GF) reinforced polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin for injection molding (IM) applications requiring improved stiffness. This resin also offers improved ductility over conventional GF reinforced PC resins in combination with medium flow characteristics and excellent processability with opportunities for shorter IM cycle times when compared to standard PC. LEXAN EXL4019 resin is a product that may be an excellent candidate for a wide variety of applications. Available in limited colors only.

This material data has been provided by Sabic.

"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.
