SABIC LEXAN™ Copolymer EXL1162T PC+Siloxane (Europe)  (Unverified Data**)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polycarbonate (PC); Siloxane
Material Notes:	LEXAN EXL1162T polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin is a transparent injection molding (IM) grade with extra release properties. This resin offers good low temperature (-20 C) ductility in combination with high flow characteristics and excellent processability with opportunities for shorter IM cycle times compared to standard PC resins. LEXAN EXL1162T resin is a general purpose product available in transparent and opaque colors and may be an excellent candidate for a broad range of applications. Information provided by SABIC
