SABIC Innovative Plastics Lexan® 9034 Polycarbonate Sheet
Subcategory: Polycarbonate; Polymer; Thermoplastic
Close Analogs: Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) announced on August 31st, 2007, the completion of its purchase of GE Plastics.
Material Notes: Lexan® 9034 uncoated polycarbonate sheet is the standard grade of LEXAN sheet for transparent protective glazing. High-impact LEXAN 9034 sheet can be utilized for primary glazing, or on either side of existing glazing for economical protection against breakage or intrusion. A better insulator than glass, LEXAN 9034 sheet contributes to lower energy costs. Information provided by Aurora Technologies.
