Introduction to Polycarbonate (PC)
Polycarbonate (PC) is a transparent material with exceptional mechanical strength. It is known for its outstanding toughness, Stiffness, creep resistance, and impact resistance. In addition, PC is a highly electrical insulation material with fair chemical inertness.
Polycarbonate can be easily machined, and the parts have a high degree of dimensional stability. Post-processing tasks like surface smoothing, painting, and joining are simple.
It is employed in various industries due to several beneficial properties, such as Automotive, aerospace, medical, home appliances, and many more. However, PC is commonly used in Automotive to produce Pumps, valves, thermal mechanisms, and other parts.
