LEXAN~* DMX GRADE RESINS - SCRATCH RESISTANT, BARRIER POLYCARBONATES

摘要

Polycarbonates are widely used in injection molding applications because of their impact resistance, optical clarity, heat and chemical resistance. However in some applications, they lack the scratch resistance needed to maintain surface aesthetics of parts subject to constant handling. Lexan~* DMX grade resins (hereinafter referred to as "DMX") have been developed to offer significantly better surface hardness compared to standard polycarbonate, thus potentially eliminating the need for secondary coatings operations. These transparent resins also possess oxygen and moisture barrier properties, which makes them attractive for packaging applications.
