ORLANDO, Fla. — April 3, 2012 — SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business today announced here at NPE 2012 (booth #29000), important new additions to its flagship portfolio of high-performance Lexan* polycarbonate (PC) materials: Lexan CFR (clear flame retardant) copolymer and three new Lexan LUX resin grades.

They also underscore how the company continues to increase PC performance to meet customers’ environmental, high-performance, aesthetic and regulatory requirements. In fact, SABIC’s portfolio of customer-relevant PC materials is the broadest in the global plastics industry.
