General Purpose Polycarbonate (PC1000) – Unfilled grades of polycarbonate exhibit glass-like transparency and extreme toughness. General purpose polycarbonate sheet has a polished surface, is UV stabilized, and is often used in glazing applications. It features outstanding impact strength and superior dimensional stability.
Machine Grade Polycarbonate (Super-PC) – This low stress polycarbonate is used in many applications that require heavily fabricated, tight tolerance parts such as electrical insulator components, manifolds, diaphragms, and semiconductor parts. Machine grade polycarbonate has high impact strength, high modulus of elasticity, outstanding dimensional stability, and good electrical properties.
Versatile and tough,resists impact.Easily machined, polished,welded,bonded,polycarbonate transmits 88% of light, making it ideal for windows and similar transparent products.
