Lexan • Dr. Daniel W. Fox is the inventor of SABIC Innovative Plastics' Lexan polycarbonate. In 1953, after conducting a series of experiments while working on a project to develop new wire insulation material, Dr. Fox found himself with a gooey substance that hardened in a beaker. Despite his best efforts, he found he could not break or destroy the material. Lexan polycarbonate was born and has continued to revolutionize our lives, work and play.
