About Polycarbonate

Unfilled Polycarbonate is a tough, transparent engineering thermoplastic which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. It also has a high heat deflection temperature and absorbs very little moisture. These properties, plus good low frequency and high voltage insulating characteristics, make polycarbonate a prime material for electrical and electronic components. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency (unfilled grades only) also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications.

PC Polycarbonate is avaialble in sheet, rod, tube, film, custom profiles and machined parts. Available in unfilled and filled grades and multiple brands.

Important - Not all Polycarbonates offer Window Clear Transparency

Use caution when specifying polycarbonate for applications in which transparency is critical. For example, Westlake Plastics' Zelux^® M product is machine-grade polycarbonate, while their Zelux^® W is window-clear material for applications where transparency is an important consideration. SABIC (formerly GE) brand Lexan^® polycarbonate sheet is available in many different grades, with varying properties and transparency. Likewise, Plaskolite brand Tuffak^® polycarbonate sheet is also available in many different grades with a variety of different properties. Contact Boedeker Plastics for more details on polycarbonate product size and shape availability for your application.
