Engineered Polymers India Pvt. Ltd.

Polycarbonate (PC) is a translucent engineering thermoplastic characterized by outstanding mechanical, optical, electrical and thermal properties. PC offers high impact resistance, high modulus of elasticity, high heat deflection temperature and very low moisture absorption. These properties make PC an ideal candidate for transparent structural and electrical components

Key Features:

• High tensile, shear and flexural strength
• Excellent toughness
• Continuously resists heat deformation to 145° C
• UL V-0 flame resistance
• Excellent electrical properties
• Low moisture absorption
• Good acid resistance
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion
• Ease of machining

Typical Applications:

• Electrical connectors, insulators
• Aerospace components
• Automotive parts
• Medical equipment parts
• Appliance components
• Manifolds
• Rollers, handles

 

 

Polycarbonate is widely used in structural components because of itstranslucent character. Being tough& high impact resistant, it is usedin many industrial & militaryapplications. It finds application inelectrical, food and pharma industries.

Class Characteristics:

• Outstanding electrical strength
• Outstanding electrical properties
• Physiologically safe
• Dimensional stability
• High impact strength, even at low temperatures
• Continuous use temperature 120 Deg C
• Excellent mechanical properties (tensile, shear & flexural)
• Good mechanical strength at elevated temperature
• Chemical resistance to week acids, aliphatic hydro carbons, oils, greases, alcohol
• Excellent hydrolysis resistance
• Low moisture absorption
• Good dimensional stability
• Self extinguishing (UL - 94) V - 0 @ 0.240” Thickness
• Good creep resistance

Design Considerations:

• Partial resistant to Weak Alkalies, strong acids, esters, phenols, amines, ketones, chlorinated and halogenated hydrocarbons
• Machined surface not so transparent
• Limited hydrolysis (up to 900 Degc)
• This has poor wear properties and hence not suitable for such applications

Grades:

• Natural Enplas PC
• Enplas PC GF
