The performance demands of equipment serving agriculture, forestry, mining and construction are second-to-none, especially when it comes to durability, weatherability and impact resistance.
SABIC’s LEXAN™ offers high optical properties while meeting the highest forestry and agriculture requirements for abrasion and chemical resistance. Compared to glass, the material provides a weight savings of up to 50 percent and is virtually unbreakable. LEXAN™ SLX, GELOY™, XENOY™, LEXAN EXL™ and NORYL™ resins deliver excellent weatherability, including UV and heat resistance, as well as excellent impact resistance and a high-quality surface finish.
