XYLEX^™ Resin

Description

STRONG CHEMICAL RESISTANCE PLUS CLARITY XYLEX resins are a transparent blend of polycarbonate (PC) and an amorphous polyester. Compared to PC, the polyester in XYLEX resin provides enhanced chemical resistance against certain fluids, enhancing the resin's stress crack resistance. It also permits lower processing temperatures than straight PC.

Benefits

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Resistant to pool and spa chemicals, automotive fluids, alcohols, cleaning fluids, food ingredients, and health & beauty compounds

HIGH IMPACT STRENGTH Impact strength similar to polycarbonates

CLARITY As clear as polycarbonates - almost indistinguishable from standard window glass

WEATHERABILITY Grades include UV stabilized formulations, as well as inherently-weatherable polyester resin for outstanding external application life

HIGH FLOW Good mold flow for thin-section parts
