PC
Molecular structure of Polycarbonate Molecule
The bisphenol A component (moiety A) of the molecule is the principal contributor to the resin's relatively high glass transition temperature. And, the high rotational mobility of the carbonyl (moiety B) contributes to the high ductility and toughness of polycarbonate resins over a wide temperature range.

Polycarbonate sheet stands out for its top performance qualities like high resistance to impact and to heat (maximum working temperature in continuous of 120ºC). Because of such properties, PC is a suitable product for manufacturing protection elements, both for personal and machinery use.
PC sheets are also available in a UV version. Those sheets possess special co-extruded UV protection that permits them to be used in outside applications in witch they are exposed to UV light.
Polycarbonate can be printed by most printing methods. If they are to be printed, this can be carried out without any surface treatment.
Courant applications:
- Machinery protection
- Moulds
- Protective shields
- Security glazing
- Construction components
- Warehouse panels
- Any industrial application that requires thermoforming
