General Info
Unfilled Machine Grade Polycarbonate is a tough, semi-transparent engineering thermoplastic which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. It also has a high heat deflection temperature and absorbs very little moisture. These properties, plus good low frequency and high voltage insulating characteristics, make polycarbonate a prime material for electrical and electronic components. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency (unfilled window grades only) also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications.
