PC 1000

Characteristics

PC 1000 is industrial grade polycarbonate. When using this material, it is about the intrinsic properties of the material and not the optical, transparent properties. The material is not crystal clear, but it is translucent.

• high mechanical strength
• good creep resistance
• very high impact resistance, even at low temperatures
• retention of stiffness over a wide temperature range
• very high dimensional stability
• translucent
• good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
• physiologically inert (suitable for contact with food)

Applications

The strength, impact resistance and transparency of PC 1000 make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications such as sight glasses and windows.
Machine grade PC 1000 polycarbonate is stress-free making it ideal for tight tolerance machined parts.
