Engineering Polycarbonate - PC1000
PC 1000 machine grade polycarbonate is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic, which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. These properties, in addition to good electrical insulating and dielectric properties, make it an excellent choice for electrical/electronic applications. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications such as sight glasses and windows.
Profile
- High mechanical strength
- Good creep resistance
- Very high impact strength, even at low temperatures
- Stiffness retention over a wide range of temperatures
- Very good dimensional stability (very low water absorption and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion)
- Natural color (clear; translucent)
- Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
- Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)
- Insulators
- Insulators made of PC 1000 Polycarbonate provide excellent dielectric strength in electrical applications.
- Sight glasses
- On gasoline tankers, a sight glass machined from PC 1000 Polycarbonate tubular bar permits drivers to easily inspect tank level.
- Manifolds
- PC 1000 Polycarbonate plate is easily machined into impact resistant manifolds for a variety of industries.
