Lexan XHT clear, high-temperature polycarbonate copolymer resins have an optimal balance of high heat resistance and high flow. These features expand design options for molding thin-wall parts. Their proprietary chemistry alters the polymer backbone by incorporating specialized monomers, leading to good high-temperature performance, with end-use temperatures in the range of 140°C–195°C. The copolymers have excellent clarity and colorability, making them top choices for applications such as aesthetic and functional enclosures for industrial and commercial lighting, consumer products such as heat-resistant helmets and heat shields, electrical components such as fuses, and nonbiocompatible healthcare devices that must undergo autoclaving. These resins are available in a variety of colors with a clear or opaque base.
