Polycarbonate
Versatile and tough, this engineering plastic resists impact.
For superior impact resistance in your applications, consider polycarbonate machine-grade thermoplastic. This transparent material has a high modulus of elasticity, without compromising strength or structure. Excellent electrical properties and low moisture absorption extend its viability for use in a variety of electronic applications. For increased rigidity, machine-grade polycarbonate can be reinforced with glass fiber.
