Polycarbonate is made from carbon atoms strung together in a long chain. This creates a very strong polymer that is resistant to heat, water, and other chemicals. Polycarbonate also has good electrical insulation properties, making it an ideal material for use in sunscreens and contact lenses. PC products come in a variety of forms. Some of the most common pc polymer resins are clear, translucent, and semi-transparent.
Our polycarbonate compounds (PC-COM™) are used mainly in the automotive and lighting industries. Popular pc polymer choices for these application types include PC-COM™ PC 422 and PC-COM™ PC 415 grades.
What is Polycarbonate plastic?
Polycarbonate (PC) plastic is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its unique properties. It is an amorphous polymer with exceptional clarity, light transmission, and impressive strength and toughness. Polycarbonate is made from the polymerization of bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene, resulting in a material that stands out for its high impact resistance, even at low temperatures, and its ability to withstand prolonged exposure to high and low temperatures.
The standout feature of polycarbonate is its excellent clarity and optical properties, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring transparency, such as in lenses, eyewear, and windows. Additionally, it has good dimensional stability and is resistant to many chemicals.
Critical Characteristics of Polycarbonate Plastic
• High impact resistance, maintaining toughness over a wide temperature range.
• Exceptional clarity and light transmission, suitable for optical applications.
• Good heat resistance, remaining stable under various thermal conditions.
• Resistant to many chemicals and moisture.
• Can be readily worked, moulded, and thermoformed.
• Slightly more prone to scratching than other plastics, often addressed with coatings.
