LEXAN™ Copolymer ML7689

1 of 148 products in this brand
SABIC's Specialties Business LEXAN™ ML7689 polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin IS a high viscosity injection molding (IM) grade WITH good processability, offering opportunities FOR shorter IM CYCLE times compared TO standard PC resins. This resin offers extreme low temperature (-40 degree C) ductility. LEXAN™ ML7689resin IS FDA/EU FC compliant available IN OPAQUE colors ONLY AND IS an excellent candidate FOR food contact applications. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during SHPP’s manufacturing process and are not expected to contain unintentional PFAS impurities. Each user is responsible for evaluating the presence of unintentional PFAS impurities.
