Polycarbonate Engineering grade / PC 1000

Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products is marketing non-UVstabilised
polycarbonate stock shapes under the trade name
PC 1000 (virgin grade). It is a"non-optical" industrial quality.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS

* High mechanical strength
* Good creep resistance
* Very high impact strength, even at low temperatures
* Stiffness retention over a wide range of temperatures
* Very good dimensional stability
(very low water absorption and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion)
* Natural color (clear; translucent)
* Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
* Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)

PC 1000 natural (clear, translucent) [PC]

PC 1000 machine grade polycarbonate is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic, which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. These properties, in addition to good electrical insulating and dielectric properties, make it an excellent choice for electrical/electronic applications. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications such as sight glasses and windows.
