LEXAN™ sheets for aircraft interiors

SABIC’s ultra-tough, flame-retardant (FR) LEXAN™ F6000 polycarbonate (PC) sheet offers excellent impact resistance, good stiffness and strength and ease of processing, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications in industries such as electrical/electronics and mass transportation (e.g. aircraft interiors and railway interiors).

LEXAN™ F6000 sheet is ideally suited to thermoforming. It offers high, deep draw ratios, equal wall thickness distribution, and it can be formed into complex shapes using standard thermoforming equipment. Sandwich type heating systems give the best results.
