Polycarbonate

Choosing Wanpeisi® as your Polycarbonate supplier ensures you receive high-quality products and professional services, providing robust support for your business development. Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance polymer material widely used in various industrial and consumer applications. This material typically appears transparent or translucent and boasts excellent impact resistance and chemical corrosion resistance.

Polycarbonate can be processed using various methods, including injection molding, extrusion molding, and blow molding. Injection molding is suitable for manufacturing complex shapes and high-precision products, such as optical lenses, electronic housings, and automotive parts. Extrusion molding is commonly used to produce sheets, pipes, and profiles, while blow molding is primarily employed to manufacture containers and bottles. These processing methods not only ensure the high quality and versatility of PC products but also allow them to exhibit outstanding performance across different application fields.

From an environmental perspective, Polycarbonate offers certain advantages. Firstly, its high strength and durability result in longer product lifespans, reducing resource waste and environmental pollution caused by frequent replacements. Secondly, PC is recyclable; through appropriate recycling and reprocessing techniques, discarded PC products can be converted into new raw materials, thereby decreasing reliance on virgin petrochemical resources and lowering the carbon footprint. Additionally, in specific applications such as medical devices, the use of PC engineering plastic can reduce the reliance on more polluting materials, further alleviating environmental burdens.

In terms of storage and transportation, Polycarbonate materials exhibit good stability. They do not react with most chemicals at room temperature, making them safe to store in standard warehouses. However, it is crucial to avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures to prevent material aging and performance degradation. During transportation, waterproof and dustproof packaging should be used to prevent mechanical damage and contamination. Especially during long-distance transport or in adverse weather conditions, additional protective measures should be taken to ensure the material's integrity.

Product Features of the Polycarbonate

1．High Strength and High Toughness: Polycarbonate exhibits extremely high impact resistance, with a strength 250 times that of glass and 30 times that of acrylic plastics, maintaining excellent toughness even at extreme temperatures.

2．Excellent Heat Resistance: Capable of operating at relatively high temperatures, with long-term usage typically around 120°C and short-term tolerance to even higher temperatures.

3．Weatherability and Chemical Resistance: Demonstrates excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation, oxidizers, acids, oils, and hydrocarbons, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

4．Flame Retardancy: Polycarbonate inherently self-extinguishes, achieving UL 94 V-2 rating without flame retardants; with additives, it can meet higher flame retardancy standards.

5．Good Processability: Can be processed into various shapes using methods such as injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding.

6．Biocompatibility: Suitable for medical devices and food packaging containers as it does not elicit adverse reactions from biological tissues.

7．Dimensional Stability: With low water absorption and excellent dimensional stability, it is ideal for manufacturing high-precision components.

Product Applications of the Polycarbonate

	Due to its excellent electrical insulation and dimensional stability, Polycarbonate is commonly used in the manufacturing of enclosures, connectors, switches, and other components for electronic and electrical products.
Its outstanding mechanical properties and heat resistance make it suitable for producing automotive lighting systems, windows, dashboards, and other parts.
	PC material, known for its transparency, resistance to disinfectants, and impact resistance, is ideal for manufacturing housings and windows for various medical equipment such as surgical instrument trays, respiratory masks, and nebulizers.
Due to its good transparency, UV resistance, and impact resistance, it is used in construction for skylights, sound barriers, protective barriers, and other applications.
