[PC]

Polycarbonate (PC) is a natural, non-optical, industrial-grade material that is transparent or translucent.

Grades

● Altron™ PC

  • 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
