Yes, LEXAN™ polycarbonate is inherently fire resistant. This means it is designed to resist ignition and limit the spread of flames, making it a safe choice for applications where fire safety is a concern.
LEXAN™ Flame Retardant Sheet portfolio from SABIC offers transparent and opaque sheets that combine formability with excellent flame-retardant properties. Transparent products meet the flammability requirements of the European building and construction market. Opaque sheets can be used for interior applications in a wide variety of vehicles, ranging from train seating, to aircraft wall panels and specialty vehicle cladding.
LEXAN™ 9034 based polycarbonate sheet is the standard grade of LEXAN™ sheet. Inherently high impact LEXAN™ 9034 sheet is an excellent candidate for glazing for economical protection against breakage or intrusion. As LEXAN™ has better insulation properties than glass it may contribute to lower energy costs. LEXAN™ 9034 sheet may be thermoformed, pressure formed, cold-formed or used in flat applications.
LEXAN™ 9034 sheet has sufficient resistance to most mineral oils, greases, aliphatic hydrocarbons and acids under low or moderate stress levels. Specific (application related) testing is always advised, especially in applications where the LEXAN™ 9034 sheet will come into contact with aggressive chemicals.
LEXAN™ 9034 sheet can be used for 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. LEXAN™ 9034 sheet has a forming temperature range of 350–400°F. When forming, a draft angle of at least 3° should be allowed, and post mold shrinkage of .007–.009 in/in taken into account.
It is important to ensure that LEXAN™ 9034 sheet is free of moisture prior to thermoforming. A hot air circulating oven set at 250°F is recommended. Pre-drying times vary from 3–24 hours, depending on sheet thickness.
Parts made from LEXAN™ 9034 sheet can be assembled with plastics, metals, rubber and other materials using many types of adhesive bonding, welding and mechanical fastening techniques. Since some of these materials can cause environmental stress cracking, please consult SABIC Innovative Plastics, for advice on specific applications. A list of approved paint systems and suppliers is available upon request.

Flame-retardant PC (polycarbonate) material is a type of polycarbonate that has been treated or formulated to have enhanced fire resistance properties. This is often achieved by adding specific additives or modifying the material's composition.
Flame retardant grade refers to the level of fire resistance a material possesses. Different materials and products can have varying flame retardant grades, often classified according to specific standards or regulations.
