Polycarbonates (PC)
What is Polycarbonate (PC)?
Polycarbonate (PC) is a thermoplastic polymer that belongs to the category of engineering plastics. It is characterized by its high transparency and impact resistance. This material is often abbreviated as PC in material designations and is also referred to as “organic glass.” Polycarbonate is used in a wide range of applications, including optical devices such as camera lenses and headlights, interior fittings like partitions and aquariums, as well as in the production of bulletproof materials.
Advantages of Polycarbonate (PC)
High Transparency:
Polycarbonate is among the top plastics in terms of transparency, almost comparable to glass.
High Impact Resistance:
It outperforms other transparent plastics by a factor of 50 and even surpasses glass by a factor of 200 in terms of impact resistance.
High Weather Resistance:
Thanks to this property, polycarbonate is a durable choice for outdoor applications.
Low Water Absorption:
This material has low water absorption, which means it is less likely to change dimensions due to moisture.
Excellent Machinability:
Its good machinability allows for a wide range of processing options.
High Flame Resistance:
Polycarbonate is difficult to ignite and does not support the spread of flames. Therefore, it is suitable for applications such as exterior cladding of electrical devices.
The remarkable combination of high transparency and impact resistance sets polycarbonate apart. Its resistance to UV radiation and moisture, low water absorption, dimensional stability, and versatile machinability are additional advantages.
