PC (Poly­car­bo­nate)

Poly­car­bo­nate is an amor­phous, ther­mo­pla­s­tic, trans­lu­cent plas­tic with high mecha­ni­cal strength and stiff­ness and good creep resistance.
PC exhi­bits excel­lent impact strength that extends over a wide tempe­ra­ture range. PC is also available in a scratch-resistant version as well as in special types for the glazing sector.

We distin­gu­ish between trans­pa­rent and indus­trial grade PC.
