Polycarbonate is an amorphous engineering thermoplastic known for its exceptional impact strength, optical transparency, and heat resistance.
It is lighter than glass, yet 250 times stronger, making it ideal for transparent or tough applications that require safety and durability.
Polycarbonate is known for its exceptional toughness and ability to withstand significant impact without cracking or breaking, making it ideal for safety applications like eyewear lenses and protective gear.
This material offers excellent optical clarity, allowing for high light transmission, which is why it's commonly used in applications requiring clear, strong materials, such as in automotive headlamps and greenhouse panels.
Polycarbonate maintains its mechanical properties over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for use in environments with fluctuating temperatures, from cold to hot conditions.
Polycarbonate is processed through methods like injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming. In injection molding, polycarbonate pellets are melted and injected into molds to form various shapes. Extrusion involves melting the pellets and forcing them through a die to create continuous profiles like sheets or tubes. Thermoforming heats polycarbonate sheets until pliable, then molds them into desired shapes. These processes leverage polycarbonate's durability, transparency, and impact resistance, making it ideal for applications in automotive, electronics, and construction industries.
