Polycarbonate (PC) - Properties, Uses, & Structure - Omnexus
WEBToughness – Polycarbonate maintains a toughness value between -20°C to 140°C. They are virtually unbreakable. High Impact Strength – PC has a high strength that makes it resistant to impact and fracture. It provides safety and comfort in applications that demand high reliability and performance.
WEBPolycarbonate Material Data Sheet. General Purpose, Glazing Grade.
WEBPolycarbonate is a tough, transparent plastic material with outstanding strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. Polycarbonate’s optical clarity makes it ideal for applications such as machine guards, signs, architectural glazing, face shields, skylights, and POP displays.
The Complete Guide to Polycarbonate Sheets - Laird Plastics
WEBMay 1, 2024 · Polycarbonate sheets are up to 250 times stronger than glass sheets of the same thickness. At the same time, polycarbonate is half the weight of glass and much easier to work with. Polycarbonate also has excellent optical properties. It has high light transmission and a glass-like transparency.
How Strong is Polycarbonate? | Emco Industrial Plastics
WEBPolycarbonate's tensile strength is between 55-75 MPa (force per unit area), which is a measurement of how well a material can resist breaking under tension. Acrylic is an alternative to polycarbonate, but it's only 4-8 times stronger than glass.
WEBImpact strength: Unnotched polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, making it extremely safe in areas where parts may be exposed to impact. When exposed to repeated heavy blow, the material tends to cold form rather than shatter. Electrical: Polycarbonate is excellent for electrical applications, because of its high dielectric strength
