PC (Polycarbonate)
PC (Polycarbonate): An Introduction
PC (polycarbonate) is an amorphous thermoplastic with good electrical insulation properties and moderate chemical resistance.
For the production of instrument panels, pumps, valves, and other parts in the automotive industry, PC is commonly used in rod and plate formats. In addition to protecting gear, medical devices, and intermal mechanical parts, it is also used in other sectors.
