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.
