LEXAN 9330

Its time to see what Team 9 is really made of!

Lexan resin is a relatively new development in plastics from GE Plastics.  It demonstrates UV stability, EMI shielding capabilities, high impact toughness at various temperature extremes, and among other things is injection moldable.  Clearly LEXAN 9330 is the optimal choice.
