Polycarbonate

Transparent/Translucent

Polycarbonate plastic, often referred to by the abbreviation PC, is produced in standard stock shapes for machining parts and is extruded in plate (or sheet), and Solid Rods.

PC plastic is a thermoplastic characterised by its amorphous structure, offering excellent electrical properties alongside remarkable impact strength and moderate chemical resistance. Its high transparency is attributed to its low crystallinity and amorphous nature. Extruded polycarbonates, classified as machine grade, typically exhibit slight opacity unless subjected to mechanical or chemical polishing processes.
