PC (Polycarbonate) Overview

Polycarbonate (PC) is an amorphous thermoplastic known for high impact resistance, transparency, and electrical insulation. RapidDirect offers PC in clear and black for CNC machining and injection molding, including light pipes, transparent parts, protective components, and heat-resistant applications.

  • High impact resistance: PC withstands impact in protective and functional parts.
  • Optical clarity: Transparent PC supports components that need visibility.
  • Heat resistance: PC is used for parts exposed to elevated temperatures.
  • Electrical insulation: PC supports electrical and electronic housings.

Selection note: PC is a strong choice for clear parts that also need impact resistance. It is available in rod and plate formats for machining as well as molding grades.
