Polycarbonate Parts FAQ
What is polycarbonate and why use it for precision parts?
Polycarbonate (PC) is an engineering plastic combining optical clarity with exceptional impact resistance. Polycarbonate is transparent, shatter-resistant, maintains clarity at temperature, and offers excellent electrical insulation. It is used for protective covers, transparent guards, medical device housings, lighting diffusers, and safety equipment components.
What are the advantages of polycarbonate over acrylic?
Polycarbonate offers superior impact resistance (200× better than acrylic), optical clarity comparable to acrylic, better temperature resistance (to 115°C continuous), electrical insulation capability, and better machinability. While acrylic is more scratch-resistant and lower-cost, polycarbonate is essential for impact-critical applications requiring transparency.
What tolerances can you hold on polycarbonate parts?
Polycarbonate machines to good tolerances. Standard CNC machining achieves ±0.05mm on general features. High-precision polycarbonate machining achieves ±0.02mm. Polycarbonate has some thermal expansion — specify critical dimensions and we will manage tolerance.
What grades of polycarbonate do you work with?
We work with virgin polycarbonate (clear, optical clarity, standard application), glass-filled polycarbonate (higher stiffness and strength), UV-stabilized grades (outdoor resistance), and medical-grade polycarbonate. Material certifications available. Specify your application requirements.
What is the typical lead time for polycarbonate parts?
Single-off polycarbonate parts typically require 2–3 weeks from quote approval to delivery. Stock material is available in sheet, rod, and tube. Production runs may allow reduced per-unit cost. Expedited jobs can be arranged.
Can you manufacture transparent polycarbonate parts?
Yes. We manufacture transparent polycarbonate components with optical clarity maintained through precision machining. Anti-scratch coatings and UV protection treatments are available. Specify optical requirements (distortion, clarity) and we will confirm achievability.
