Polycarbonate - PC 1000
Non UV stabilised polycarbonate stock shapes is an advanced engineered and reinforced polycarbonate, often found under the trade name PC 1000 (virgin grade) - manufactured by Quadrant Engineering Plastics.
It is a natural, "non-optical" industrial quality (clear and translucent). Polycarbonate PC 1000 has a 145°C heat resistant temperature and resists acidic and watery substances alike.
Polycarbonate 1000 also benefits from good electrical conduction properties, making it extremely useful in electronic applications.
Polycarbonate PC 1000 Characteristics
- High mechanical strength
- Good creep resistance
- Very high impact strength, even at low temperatures
- Stiffness retention over a wide range of temperatures
- Very good dimensional stability (very low water absorption and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion)
- Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)
- Higher temperature resistance than acrylic and offers greater impact strength
