When performance and precision matter, engineers turn to Lexan.
Lexan’s versatility makes it a top choice in industrial design from custom enclosures and machine guards to sleek control panels and light diffusers. Its impact resistance, optical clarity, and ease of fabrication give designers the freedom to innovate without sacrificing strength.
Whether you’re bending, cutting, thermoforming, or drilling, Lexan keeps its integrity where other materials fail. It’s the go-to polycarbonate for demanding environments that require both durability and design flexibility
Orion Industries is a proud converter for Lexan materials and is happy to offer Lexan products for your project needs
Lexan Polycarbonate Sheets
Lexan polycarbonate sheets are known for their exceptional impact resistance, high optical clarity, and lightweight nature, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Its natural UV resistance and thermal stability ensure long-term performance, even in harsh environments. Whether you’re looking for durability, transparency, or design flexibility, Lexan delivers reliable results across the board.
Lexan FR Series
The Lexan FR Series offers high-performance polycarbonate sheets engineered for applications where flame resistance and safety are critical. These sheets meet stringent fire ratings such as UL 94 V-0, making them ideal for enclosures, electrical components, transportation interiors, and cleanroom environments. In addition to their superior fire retardancy, Lexan FR sheets maintain excellent impact strength, dimensional stability, and ease of fabrication.
Lexan 9034
Lexan 9034 is a general-purpose polycarbonate sheet known for its outstanding impact resistance while remaining half the weight. Ideal for glazing, machine guards, windows, and protective panels, Lexan 9034 offers high optical clarity and excellent dimensional stability. It also features good thermal resistance and can be easily fabricated without cracking or breaking.
When choosing the Lexan that is best for you, consider these factors:
Application Requirements: Determine how the sheet will be used: glazing, machine guards, electrical enclosures, signage, etc. This will guide whether general-purpose or specialty grades are needed.
Impact Resistance: All Lexan sheets offer high impact resistance, but certain grades are designed for specific environments or heavy duty use.
Flame Retardancy: If your project requires fire safety compliance such as UL 94 V-0, or NFPA standards, then opt for the Lexan FR Series.
Optical Clarity vs. Privacy: For clear viewing or protective glazing, Lexan 9034 is ideal. For privacy or light diffusion, consider tinted, frosted, or matte-finish variants.
UV Resistance & Outdoor Use: For outdoor exposure, choose Lexan sheets with UV-resistant coatings to prevent yellowing or degradation over time.
Formability and Fabrication: Need to thermoform, bend, or machine the sheet? Most Lexan grades are easy to work with, but some are optimized for better performance during fabrication.
Regulatory Compliance: Check for certifications or compliance requirements specific to your industry
