What is polycarbonate?

Polycarbonates are high-molecular weight, amorphous engineering thermoplastics that are characterized by a combination of outstanding impact strength, superior dimensional stability, glass-like transparency, remarkable thermal resistance and good electrical properties. In addition, they have a ductility that is normally associated with softer, lower-modulus thermoplastics. Polycarbonate is distinguishable from other engineering thermoplastics by its freedom of design; it allows engineers selecting a combination of these properties to meet specification requirements for a broad range of application needs.

Polycarbonate has good thermoforming characteristics. When formed, fabricated, machined and finished according to recommended techniques and procedures for secondary operations, the final result will be a high quality product.
