Polycarbonate, commonly abbreviated as PC, is an amorphous thermoplastic known for its high transparency, resulting from its low crystallinity. This clear plastic provides excellent toughness and good electrical insulation properties. It can be used across a broad temperature range, maintaining its rigidity up to 120 °C while exhibiting exceptional impact resistance, even in cold conditions.
Another key characteristic of polycarbonate is its resistance to UV radiation and weathering, though its chemical resistance is only moderate. Optical clarity is achieved only through mechanical or chemical polishing.
Polycarbonate is generally positioned in the mid-price range, making it a cost-effective material choice.
