PC - Polycarbonate
Bridges the gap between the aesthetic requirements of transparent plastics and the structural requirements of engineering resins.
Polycarbonate is the "Workhorse" of Safety
When your product needs to withstand real-world abuse, Polycarbonate (PC) is the industry standard. It is the material of choice for parts that require “virtually unbreakable” impact resistance combined with excellent clarity and thermal stability.
- Impact Resistance: PC exhibits extraordinary toughness. Unlike brittle materials (like Acrylic/PMMA) that shatter under impact, Polycarbonate absorbs energy and deforms, making it the primary choice for safety eyewear, automotive lenses, and high-wear housing components.
- Thermal Performance: With a high glass transition temperature, PC maintains its structural integrity in temperature ranges where ABS or standard plastics would soften or deform.
- Optical Clarity: While slightly less transparent than PMMA, PC offers a "glass-like" clarity that is perfectly suitable for most lighting, display, and housing applications.
- Dimensional Stability: PC exhibits low and predictable mold shrinkage, allowing us to maintain the tight tolerances required for complex housings, snap-fits, and optical assemblies.
We recognize that Polycarbonate is a high-performance material that demands a high-performance molding process. It is not just about filling the cavity, it is about managing internal stress, thermal history, and chemical compatibility to ensure your product stays intact under load.
- Automotive: Headlamp lenses, instrument clusters, interior display covers, and structural parts that require transparency and high impact resistance.
- Safety & Defense: Riot shields, safety goggles, face visors, helmet shells, and bullet-resistant windows.
- Electronics: Laptop housings, mobile device frames, and transparent battery compartments where toughness and heat dissipation are critical.
- Medical: Fluid delivery systems, oxygenators, and high-clarity equipment housings that must withstand sterilization and high-impact environments.
