Polycarbonate for high-impact applications, transparency and thermal resistance
PC (Polycarbonate) is an amorphous engineering polymer well known for its exceptional transparency, impact resistance, and dimensional stability. Thanks to its balanced optical and mechanical properties, it is one of the most widely used materials in the electrical, lighting, medical, and automotive sectors. IonPlast offers PC formulations in crystal, opal, colored, reinforced with glass fiber, and flame-retardant versions.
