Description

LEXAN EXL1494T polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin is an injection molding grade with FDA and EU food contact compliance. This resin offers extreme low temperature (-40 C) ductility in combination with medium flow characteristics, improved release and excellent processability with opportunities for shorter IM cycle times compared to standard PC. LEXAN EXL1494T resin is available in transparent and opaque colors and is an excellent candidate for a broad range of food contact applications.

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.
