PC (Polycarbonate)

Polycarbonate plastic, often referred to by the abbreviation PC, is an amorphous thermoplastic with good electrical properties combined with superior impact strength and moderate chemical resistance. Polycarbonate is a very versatile material choice for a large number of applications. Whilst PC has a low moisture absorption, it isn’t suitable for use in humid environments where the temperature exceeds 70°C, where hydrolysis causes a significant deterioration of the mechanical properties and impact resistance. 

Polycarbonates offer:

• Low moisture absorption till temperature of 70°C
• Impact resistance
• Moderate chemical resistance (low solvent resistance)
• Good Machinability
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Rigidity over a wide range of temperatures
