General Info
Glass Filled Polycarbonate - Glass fibers may be added in various amounts (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) to increase tensile strength, stiffness, compressive strength, and lower the thermal expansion coefficient. NOTE: Glass-filled polycarbonate is typically NATURAL (greenish white) in color, and is sometimes also available in BLACK color. Properties for 30% glass-filled polycarbonate are shown below for reference. Contact us for properties of other grades.
