MECHETEC PC

Chemical Family: Polycarbonate (PC)

MECHETEC® PC (Polycarbonate) is a transparent thermoplastic that exhibits extraordinary impact resistance and excellent electrical properties. In addition, its low moisture absorption rate and good chemical resistance make it an extremely versatile engineering material and allows for its use in a multitude of industrial applications. Unfilled MECHETEC® PC is a mechanical grade material with light transmittance of approximately 88%. For applications requiring additional stiffness, a 20% glass fiber filled option is available. Formally known as Unicar PC. For more Info : Click Here
