Polycarbonate (PC)

 

PC COMPOUNDS

PC is an electrically conductive engineering thermoplastic compound resin reinforced with 10-50% of minerals and/or additives. PC is best used & meets the property requirements for processing by Injection molding. It is a multipurpose grade.

The compounding system is critically important for all Polycarbonate (PC) based materials. PC ingredients, mostly in powder or chip form, are compounded together with additive components into pellets such as for transparent molding compounds in the compounding system. Polycarbonate(PC) compounds have superior mechanical properties and transparency compared to general purpose plastics.
