Whats the specical application of polycarbonate ?

In the application of contemporary electronic product housing materials, if we say which material is used the most, polycarbonate is well deserved and can be described as the "king of engineering plastics." It has particularly good impact resistance, thermal stability, gloss, anti-bacterial properties, and anti-pollution properties. It has a wide temperature range (-60~120℃) and is widely used in the design of electronic product housings, especially products that require outdoor use.

1. Strong transparent material

There are colorless and transparent models, the visible light transmittance is close to 90%, good dimensional stability, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, high surface hardness, not easy to scratch and fluff, can be applied to outdoor curtain walls, Sports equipment, electronic products with transparent casing.


Especially protective glasses: light weight, high strength, can withstand the impact of a steel ball with a diameter of 6mm at a speed of 45 meters per second. The housing of lamps and lanterns in places where explosion-proof (anti-riot) is required is also made of PC.


2. High-end electronic products

Electronic products that use polycarbonate as the shell are extremely stable in size even if they are used in an environment with a wide range of outdoor temperature differences. At the same time, it has good weather resistance and is not easy to change color. Especially the glass fiber reinforced material can give the product excellent protection performance. For products with fire-retardant requirements, you can choose a grade with flame-retardant properties, which can reach the UL94-V0 fire rating.
