Polycarbonate (PC) Rods, Plates & Tubular Bars
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.
