Brand information

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.
