Title: Lexan? Post by: lowfastbus on November 04, 2006, 11:44:36 am Anyone now the exact "name" for lexan?
Something like polyca....... Title: Re: Lexan? Post by: Roman on November 04, 2006, 13:17:12 pm I have been a purchaser in the plastics industry for 9 years so this one is easy!
Polycarbonate, PC is the common name. Lexan is a trade mark from GE (General Electric). There are many different grades of PC and if you are looking for PC for windows I recomend a quality that is coated for increased scratch resistance. Lexan Margard FMR5XT is a good quality if you need to bend it like the rear window on a bug. If it is straight like the side and front windows use Lexan Margard MR5E. These materials go for close to 130 € /square meter so it isn't cheap. Title: Re: Lexan?
