Rulon Bearings

Polymer Resources PRL PC UT2 Utility Grade Low Flow Polycarbonate
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polycarbonate (PC); Polycarbonate, Molded

Material Notes: Polycarbonate is an amorphous engineering polymer that provides exceptional mechanical, thermal, and optical properties. Polycarbonate is one of the only plastics that combine thermal stability, high upper use temperatures (HDT), impact resistance and toughness as well as clarity. Polycarbonate exhibits impact resistance and toughness at a wide range of temperatures. It has superior thermal stability, which yields a large process window for large and small parts. Its amorphous nature gives polycarbonate excellent dimensional stability and uniform shrinkage.
