Polycarbonate materials offer a unique balance of beneficial features which include temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates in between commodity plastic materials and engineering plastic materials.
Polycarbonate is definitely a rugged material. Whilst it features tremendous impact-resistance, it has got a lower scratch-resistance and so a hard coating could be applied to polycarbonate eyewear lenses as well as polycarbonate exterior motor vehicle components. The characteristics relating to polycarbonate tend to be along the lines of those of common Acrylic materials, and yet polycarbonate is definitely stronger, it is usable in a wider temperature range and is a bit more expensive. This plastic polymer is highly transparent to visible light and has better light transmission characteristics than many different types of glass.
Polycarbonate carries a glass transition temperature of around 150 °C (302 °F), consequently it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools must be held at warm to high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to help with making strain- and almost stress free products.
Unlike almost all other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo large deformations without cracking. For that reason, it is sometimes processed and formed cold using standard sheet metal techniques, for instance forming bends with a brake. Even for sharp angle bends with a tight radius, no heating is usually necessary. This makes it attractive prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are needed, which cannot be created from sheet metal. Keep in mind that PMMA/Plexiglas, which happens to be similar in appearance to polycarbonate, but is brittle and cannot be bent at room temperature.
The light weight of polycarbonate, compared to glass, has led to development of electronic display screens that replace glass materials with polycarbonate, for use in mobile and portable devices. Such displays include newer e-ink and a few LCD screens, though CRT, plasma screen and other LCD technologies generally still require glass for its higher melting temperature and its ability to be etched with finer detail.
Other miscellaneous items made from Polycarbonate include durable, lightweight luggage, MP3/digital audio player cases, computer cases, police riot shields, instrument panels, and common style blender jars. Many toys and hobby products are made out of polycarbonate parts, e.g. fins, gyro mounts, and flybar locks for use with radio-controlled helicopters.
For use in applications subjected to weathering or UV-radiation, a special surface treatment is needed. This may be a coating (e.g. for improved abrasion resistance), or perhaps the coextrusion for enhanced weathering resistance.
Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic that at the beginning, starts as a solid plastic material in the form of small pellets. In a manufacturing process called injection molding, this pellet material is heated until they melt and become a very thick liquid. The melted liquid polycarbonate is then rapidly injected into the mold - shaped like the part, compressed under high pressure and cooled to produce a finished product , that only takes about a minute to complete.

Covestro Makrolon Polycarbonate Sheet offer high impact strength
Polycarbonate products give you a balance of useful features including high temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastics and engineering plastic materials.
Polycarbonate is a very tough material. Even though it features higher impact-resistance, it has lower scratch-resistance and so a hard coating can be applied to polycarbonate eye wear lenses and polycarbonate exterior motor vehicle equipment. The properties relating to polycarbonate tend to be similar to that of those of common Acrylic materials, yet , polycarbonate is stronger, it is usable in a wider temperature range and is a bit more expensive. This plastic polymer is highly transparent to visible light and has better light transmission characteristics than most grades of glass.
Polycarbonate carries a glass transition temperature of around 150 °C (302 °F), as a result it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools ought to be held at warm to high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) in order to make strain- and stress-free products.

Covestro Makrolon Polycarbonate Flat Sheet offer high impact strength
Polycarbonate plastic materials give you a unique balance of useful features which include temp resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastics and engineering materials.
Polycarbonate is definitely a long-lasting material. Though it offers tremendous impact-resistance, it has minimal scratch-resistance and so a hard coating can be applied to polycarbonate eyeglasses lenses and polycarbonate exterior motor vehicle equipment. The characteristics of polycarbonate are generally like those of common Acrylic materials, although polycarbonate is stronger, it is usable in a wider temperature range and is a bit more expensive. This plastic polymer is highly transparent to visible light and has better light transmission characteristics than several types of glass.
Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature near 150 °C (302 °F), as a result it softens slowly above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools are required to be held at higher temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to produce strain- and stress-free products.
Unlike most other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo massive deformations without breaking or cracking. Because of this, it is sometimes processed and formed without needing to be heated using standard sheet metal techniques, for instance forming bends on a brake. For even sharp angle bends having a tight radius, no heating is generally necessary. This makes it valuable in prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are essential, which can not be created from sheet metal. Be aware that PMMA/Plexiglas, that is certainly similar in appearance to polycarbonate, but is brittle and cannot be bent with out a heating process.

Saving thousand dollars a year is THIS easy!
I am always in wonder at how some people complain about having no money.. and yet seem to have a blind spot on what they spend money on. Luckily for Mr Zhong Shanshan (whom I bet you’ve never heard of!) there are enough blind spotters in the world to make him the 6th richest man in the world.
How did that happen? Simple. He bet on people’s blind spot and sold them exactly what they never needed but suddenly though they did.
Bottled water.
Think about it. If you are 30 or over you still remember when you DIDNT see the need to buy bottled after. You drank water from your home tap. Then came the fear campaigns (and the chemicals!) that proved to you that water enclosed in a plastic sheath, and sold to you by a multinational was ‘better’.
Yes, it may be better if it can be proven it is chemical free.. but the scores of cases already recorded of exposes of companies that just filled bottles with tap water makes that one hard to accept. And now we know about the problems of plastics and the fact that we ingest the equivalent of a credit card of plastic EVERY MONTH.. the idea of a plastic bottle loses its attraction.
We all know about food miles.
We have agreed that we should buy food locally where possible for many good reasons. But water? There’s that blind spot. Just grab a dozen of the supermarket shelf. They are on special this week.
Yes, there are some quite terrible water supplies. In the US there are over 200 cities that supply water with toxic levels of lead, a known brain toxin. In Australia thousands of people are drinking water with carcinogenic PFOAs. In many countries fluoride, chlorine and chloramine has been added to ‘make our water safe’.
I’m sure Mr Shanshan can tell us hundreds of stories about how bad Chinese water supplies are.. and every time he does, he can watch his bank account grow. I have no argument with him. Perhaps given China’s water problems he is doing something good.. but honestly, at what cost to the environment and the world?
If you’d like to get off the bottled water merrygoround, drop us a line and we’ll show you how you can massively reduce the money you spend on good water.. forever. And get ready to have lots more dollars in your pocket!
