Worth knowing
Polycarbonate (PC) is considered a very hard plastic and is used in a wide range of applications due to its material properties. This material is particularly widespread in the automotive industry.
Polycarbonate (PC) is considered a very hard plastic and is used in a wide range of applications due to its material properties. This material is particularly widespread in the automotive industry.
However, it should be noted that PC is highly susceptible to moisture absorption, making the use of a dryer mandatory for the production of quality parts. In addition, this material is prone to warping.
Application examples:
Electronic and electrical components, housings, privacy elements, protective covers and containers, bottles, underwater housings for cameras.
Advantages
- good impact strength, strength and stiffness

- good surface quality
- V2 flame retardancy (UL94 classification)
Processing information
- Depending on the geometry, filling of installation space possible
- Tendency to absorb moisture, dryer absolutely necessary
- Tendency to warping
