Brand Information

Xylex® Resin

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 stabilised formulations, as well as inherently weatherable polyester resin for outstanding external application life.
• High Flow: Good mould flow for thin-section parts.
