Polycarbonate is a dimensionally stable, transparent thermoplastic with a structure that allows for outstanding impact resistance. With high-performance properties, PC is the leading plastic material for various applications that demand high functioning temperatures and safety features. Because of its durable make-up, polycarbonate is often the preferred thermoplastic over materials like PMMA and Acrylic. Polycarbonates are unique in their working temperatures and the ability to experience minimal degradation between heating and cooling points. Polycarbonate features a high working temperature of 266 degrees Fahrenheit and cooling temperatures at -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
FEATURES OF POLYCARBONATE
- Excellent Impact Resistance
- Minimal degradation between repetitive melting and cooling points
- UV Filtration
- Glare Reduction
- Can be coated with a scratch-resistant protection layer
POLYCARBONATE APPLICATIONS
