Characteristics of Polycarbonate (PC) Plastic Parts Injection Molding Material.
Like acrylic, polycarbonate is a transparent material known for its excellent clarity and toughness. It is available in a variety of grades, including film, antistatic, branched, flame retardant, and wear-resistant polycarbonate. This plastic injection molding material can provide transparent and opaque parts through material modification.
Polycarbonate has excellent optical clarity. Most grades have a light transmittance between 80% and 90%, making this material an excellent choice when transparent parts are required.
Another important characteristic of polycarbonate is its mechanical properties. This engineering plastic has excellent strength, toughness, and impact and heat resistance. Polycarbonate is more commonly used than acrylic resins due to its thermal stability.
