What is Polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate (PC) is a durable engineering plastic known for its excellent dimensional stability, strength, and rigidity. It’s often used for components that require high impact resistance and optical clarity.

We provide four types of machined polycarbonate:

  • Black
  • Clear
  • Translucent
  • 20% Glass-Filled
