OMNIAPLASTICA
Advanced technopolymers - PC
PC - Polycarbonate
This amorphous polymer is commonly used for its high shock resistance even at low temperature. It is not a material recommended for mechanical applications, even if its dimensional stability does make it suitable for precision parts.
FEATURES
- clear Shock resistance
- dielectric properties
- dimensional stability
- colour: clear
WEAK POINT
It has no self-lubricating power and it is attacked by oil and grease, therefore it cannot be considered suitable for lubricated moving mechanical parts.
APPLICATION
- electrical : good dielectric properties. It is mainly used in this field
- chemical: the use of PC in the chemical industry is not ideal, due to the poor resistance to hydrocarbons
- food contact: physiologically inert if natural
- mechanical: it is used for precision mechanisms when good dimensional stability is required
