POLYCARBONATE
Polycarbonate (PC) is a transparent thermoplastic. Its high strength makes it resistant to impact and fracture. It is lightweight so an excellent alternative to glass. PC is melted and forced into a mold with high pressure to give it the desired shape.
Applications:
Appliances
Polycarbonates and their blends are used in appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, coffee machines, food mixers, washing machines, hair dryers steam iron water tanks etc
Automotive/Transportation
Being lightweight and transparent, PC is used to create an eye-catching design and enhance vehicle efficiency by reducing weight without affecting durability and improving aerodynamics of a vehicle.
Building & Construction
PC is known as a suitable alternative to glass in various glazing applications, such as agricultural houses, industry or public building, facades, security windows, shelters and skylights for having properties of high impact strength, transparency, resistance to UV light and weatherability
Consumer Products
PC has low birefringence, internal stress and high dimensional accuracy making it suitable for the manufacturing CDs/DVDs.
Medical
Polycarbonates are majorly used in medical applications for owning excellent combination of properties, such as clarity, heat resistance, dimensional stability and toughness.
Food Contact
Because of its heat resistance and shatter resistance, polycarbonate is used in applications for direct contact with foods and beverages.
