Material Notes:

Lexan* EXL1493T polycarbonate (PC) siloxane copolymer resin is an injection molding grade with FDA and EU food contact compliance, with mold release. This resin offers excellent low temperature (-30 C) ductility in combination with medium flow characteristics and excellent processability with opportunities for shorter IM cycle times compared to standard PC. Lexan EXL1493T resin is available in transparent and opaque colors and is an excellent candidate for a broad range of food contact applications.This data was supplied by SABIC-IP for the Americas region.
