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 290ÕF (145ÕC) 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. Our stock shapes are produced from polycarbonate resins which meet the requirements of ASTM D 3935. A food grade polycarbonate that is compliant with FDA, NSF, Canada AG and USP Class VI regulations is available upon request. Application Insulators Insulators made of PC 1000 polycarbonate provide excellent dielectric strength in electrical applications-ions. (Prior material: PTFE) Sight Glasses On gasoline tankers, a sight glass machined from PC 1000 polycarbonate tubular bar permits drivers to easily inspect tank level. (Prior material: Glass) Manifolds PC 1000 polycarbonate plate is easily machined into impact resistant manifolds for a variety of industries. (Prior material:Acrylic) Engineering Notes PC 1000 polycarbonate is machine grade, not optically clear. |
