Unfilled Polycarbonate is a tough, transparent engineering thermoplastic which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. It also has a high heat deflection temperature and absorbs very little moisture. These properties, plus good low frequency and high voltage insulating characteristics, make polycarbonate a prime material for electrical and electronic components. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency (unfilled grades only) also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications.
Polycarbonate exhibits a broad range of outstanding properties for applications in:
- electrical connectors
- brush holders
- coil bobbins & forms
- insulators
- relay components
- dialysis equipment parts and medical tubing
- instrument covers
- rollers
- machine guards
