    PC

    Polycarbonate (PC) is a translucent engineering thermoplastic characterized by outstanding mechanical, optical, electrical and thermal properties. PC offers high impact resistance, high modulus of elasticity, high heat deflection temperature and very low moisture absorption. These properties make PC an ideal candidate for transparent structural and electrical components.

    Key Features
    • High tensile, shear and flexural strength
    • Excellent toughness
    • Continuously resists heat deformation to 265°F (145°C)
    • UL V-0 flame resistance
    • Excellent electrical properties
    • Low moisture absorption
    • Good acid resistance
    • Low coefficient of thermal expansion
    • Ease of machining
    		Typical Applications
    • Electrical connectors, insulators
    • Aerospace components
    • Automotive parts
    • Medical equipment parts
    • Appliance components
    • Manifolds
    • Rollers, handles
