Quadrant PC 1000Polycarbonate
Extruded Grade • Natural Color
| |
PC 1000 machine grade polycarbonate (PC) is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. The material has a 290 degreesF heat deflection temperature at 264 psi, absorbs very little moisture and resists acidic solutions. These properties, in addition to good electrical characteristics, make PC 1000 machine grade polycarbonate stock shapes 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. PC 1000 machine grade polycarbonate is stress relieved making it ideal for close tolerance machined parts. |
- Excellent impact resistance, toughness and elongation properties elasticity.
