Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate (PC) one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics, and for good reason, it is transparent, tough, has good dimensional stability and thermal stability and has unmatched impact resistance. It can be found in everything from compact discs, eyewear and head lamp lenses to riot shields and security glazing. Polycarbonate is naturally transparent with an ability to transmit light almost as well as glass and it’s high impact strength means that polycarbonate sheet is virtually unbreakable in most situations.

Polycarbonate has good machining properties can be, moulded and thermoformed and whilst it is easy to polish it also scratches easily.

Polycarbonates can maintain rigidity up to 140°C and maintain toughness down to -20°C or special grades even lower.

The main characteristics of polycarbonates are:

• High impact strength
• Transparent
• Excellent fire rating
• Good machining qualities
• Easy to polish
• Good electrical properties
