Makrolon Polycarbonate products give you a unique balance of useful features including high temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastic materials and engineering materials.
Polycarbonate is definitely a rugged material. Although it features significant impact-resistance, it has got reduced scratch-resistance and so a hard coating is often applied to polycarbonate eye protection lenses and polycarbonate exterior auto components. The properties relating to polycarbonate are generally along the lines of those of Acrylic PMMA materials, yet , polycarbonate definitely is stronger, it is usable in a wider temperature range and is a bit more expensive. This plastic polymer is highly transparent to visible light and has better light transmission characteristics than many kinds of glass.
Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature near 150 °C (302 °F), as a result it softens slowly above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools will have to be held at higher temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to make strain- and reduced stress products.
Unlike most other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo large shape changes without breaking. Because of this, it may be processed and formed cold using standard sheet metal techniques, for example forming bends on a brake. For even sharp angle bends having a tight radius, no heating is generally necessary. This makes it useful for prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are necessary, which can't be made from sheet metal. Remember that PMMA/Plexiglas, that is similar in looks to polycarbonate, but it's brittle and can't be bent without heating.
Polycarbonate is often utilized in eye protection, and also in other projectile-resistant see through or lighting applications that would normally require the use of glass, but require much greater impact-resistance. Many different types of lenses are manufactured from polycarbonate, including automotive headlamp lenses, lighting lenses, sunglass/eyeglass lenses, swimming and SCUBA goggles, and safety goggles for use in sporting helmets/masks and police riot gear. Windscreens in small motorized vehicles are normally made up of polycarbonate, such as for motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, and small planes and helicopters.
