What is Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate (PC) is an amorphous thermoplastic known for its high fracture toughness, impact resistance, and optical clarity. It offers better heat resistance and UV stability than acrylic, making it ideal for applications requiring durability and transparency. While CNC machining polycarbonate doesn’t always result in optically clear parts, additional finishing can enhance clarity. PC is also heat-resistant, flame-retardant, and widely recycled.
