Polikarbonat [PC]
General Engineering Plastics 120°C
- High mechanical strength
- Good abrasion resistance
- Very high impact resistance, even at low temperatures
- Stiffness retention over a wide range of temperatures
- Very good dimensional stability [very low water absorption and low CLTE]
- Natural color [transparent, translucent]
- Good electrical insulation and dielectric properties
- Physiologically inert [suitable for food contact per FDA regulations]
- Altron™ PC stock shapes exhibit an 'as-extruded' surface that is not optically clear. Optical clarity can be enhanced through mechanical or vapor polishing of finished parts.
- Caution: : During machining, water-soluble coolants should be avoided; pure water or compressed air is recommended.
- Components for precision engineering
- Safety glazing
- Electrically insulating parts, and components for medical and pharmaceutical devices
