Zelux® M

Zelux® M is Westlake Plastics machine grade polycarbonate (PC). Compression molded Zelux M is made from UV stabilized resin. Extruded Zelux M rods, sheets and film are made from resin that is suitable for use in certain types of food contact applications. Contact your local Westlake Plastics representative for specific regulatory declarations. Zelux M is an inherently transparent engineering thermoplastic offering excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability, strength, and rigidity. This material offers moderate heat resistance and good electrical insulating properties. Zelux® M is also easy to fabricate, paint, and glue.
