PC-POLYCARBONATE
PC is an amorphous, thermoplastic construction polymer with excellent transparency and impact resistance, and highly versatile in applications. By blending with different additives and/or fibres, the properties of the material can be changed as required.
Chemical designation:
Polycarbonate
Abbreviation:
PC
Natural colour, additives:
Clear, colourless
Supplied as:
