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.
