PC - Polykarbonat | Scanco AS

Polycarbonate (PC) is an amorphous thermoplastic known for its high transparency and excellent electrical insulation properties. PC plastic offers impressive strength and can be used in a wide temperature range. Even at temperatures up to 120 °C, polycarbonate retains its rigidity and exceptional impact resistance, even at low temperatures.

HIGHLIGHTS OF POLYCARBONATE (PC):

- High Transparency: Due to its low crystallinity, PC offers exceptional clarity.
- Impact resistance: Polycarbonate is extremely impact resistant, making it ideal for demanding applications.
- Electrical Insulation Properties: PC is an excellent electrical insulator, suitable for many electronic applications.
- UV and weather resistance: Available both with and without UV protection, PC is suitable for outdoor use.

Characteristics

PC is extremely strong and withstands shocks and impacts better than many other plastic materials. It has approximately 200 times stronger impact resistance than ordinary glass.
Despite its strength, PC is lightweight, making it ideal for applications where weight is a concern.
PC has an excellent transparency, almost like glass. It allows the transmission of light and is therefore widely used in products that require clarity.
PC is resistant to UV rays and has good weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor applications without losing quality over time.
PC can be easily shaped by heating, making it flexible for different production methods and complex shapes.
Polycarbonate has good thermal insulation properties, which make it suitable for use in insulating materials and window panels.
PC is resistant to many chemicals, which makes it suitable for applications where contact with chemicals is unavoidable.
Due to its durability and resistance to various influences, PC has a long service life.
Polycarbonate is recyclable, and recycling the material helps to reduce the environmental impact.
