[PC]

Polycarbonate (PC) is a natural, non-optical, industrial-grade material that is transparent or translucent.

Grades

● Altron™ PC

  • High mechanical strength
  • Good abrasion resistance
  • Very high impact resistance, even at low temperatures
  • Stiffness retention over a wide range of temperatures
  • Very good dimensional stability [very low water absorption and low CLTE]
  • Natural color [transparent, translucent]
  • Good electrical insulation and dielectric properties
  • Physiologically inert [suitable for food contact per FDA regulations]
  • PC stock shapes may have a semi-matte surface resulting from standard production processes, particularly in extruded products.
  • Mechanical polishing or an appropriate vapor-polishing process may be used to improve the optical clarity of finished parts, subject to compatibility and safety requirements.
  • Components for precision engineering
  • Safety glazing
  • Electrically insulating parts, and components for medical and pharmaceutical devices
