Polycarbonate (PC) occupies an important place among high-performance engineering plastics and is widely used in many industries thanks to its versatile properties. Its exceptional durability, transparency and thermal resistance make it ideal for a wide range of applications.

Polycarbonate (PC):

• Properties: Polycarbonate is an extremely hard and strong material with high impact resistance. It also offers excellent transparency and can be used as a substitute for glass. It is highly heat resistant and maintains its performance at temperatures between -40°C and 120°C. PC shows good electrical insulation properties and UV protected versions are suitable for outdoor applications. Thanks to its machinability, it can be easily used in molding, forming and milling processes. However, polycarbonate has limited chemical resistance; it can corrode when exposed to certain chemicals.
• Areas of Use: The transparency and impact resistance of polycarbonate enables it to be used in safety glasses, automotive headlights, protective shields, industrial safety equipment and electronic device cases. It is also preferred in the production of lenses and diffusers in the lighting industry and durable and lightweight building elements in architecture.

PC is the material of choice for applications requiring durability and transparency, and is characterized by its thermal stability and ease of processing.
