Weatherability
Specially formulated to deliver improved long-term weatherability, LEXAN™ SLX resin resists yellowing due to ultraviolet (UV) exposure and retains its excellent gloss, color stability and mechanical properties more than five times longer than standard polycarbonate. These same qualities mean that LEXAN SLX resin can help reduce or eliminate costly secondary operations needed to apply UV coating. Available in either transparent or diffuse color options, it is a superb candidate for LEDs designed for outdoor and street‑lighting applications. Available in natural, with limited white diffuse colors also available.
