General Info
Altron™ PC 1000 (Formerly Quadrant ® PC) machine grade polycarbonate is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. The material has a 290°F (145°C) heat deflection temperature at 264 psi, absorbs very little moisture and resists acidic solutions. These properties, in addition to good electrical characteristics, make Altron™ 1000 machine grade polycarbonate stock shapes an excellent choice for electrical/electronic applications. Altron™ 1000 machine grade polycarbonate is stress relieved making it ideal for close tolerance machined parts.
