Polycarbonate

TYPICAL PROPERTIES

Light transmission of 82% – 86%
Excellent inherent impact strength and toughness
High (DTUL) unreinforced (135 Deg. Cent.)
Maintenance of high rigidity at elevated temperatures
Excellent creep resistance even at elevated temperatures
Inherently has some flame retardancy
Good electrical properties
Excellent dimensional stability
Low water absorption
Continuous use temp. of 100 to 125 Deg. Cent.
Excellent acoustic properties

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
The main disadvantage of polycarbonate is its poor resistance
to some chemicals, particularly alkalis and many organic
chemicals which can cause stress cracking.

U.V RESISTANCE

each side of the sheet to protect the Polycarbonate while
exposed to the weather.

IMPACT RESISTANCE
250 times stronger than that of glass.

APPLICATIONS
Safety and Vandal resistance glazing, machine guards,
sight glasses, safety visors, electrical components & barriers.
