LEXAN™ Resins: Automotive Thermoplastic Solutions from SABIC

Combining stunning clarity with durability and easy processing, LEXAN™ resins are ideally positioned to address diverse trends in automotive design. These polycarbonate (PC) materials contribute aesthetic value, design flexibility and high performance to large, intricate lighting designs featuring LEDs, interior and exterior smart panels, and integrated advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) sensors. 

In lighting, super high flow LEXAN grades enable thin walls, aggressive styling and complex geometries. Weighing far less than glass and virtually unbreakable, LEXAN resins provide light weight and durability for large smart panels, combined with high light transmission and diffusion for optimum readability. 

LEXAN materials also answer the need for highly transparent, impact-resistant covers used in radar, LiDAR and camera sensors. These resins can be enhanced with hard coatings that provide UV resistance and scratch protection. 

LEXAN grades meet the most stringent requirements in injection molding, offering a wide variety of melt flow rates and outstanding processing predictability and consistency.
