The 411 on Polycarbonate
Unlike other plastic fabricators and suppliers in California, Polymershapes explains the full process of fabrication, including how polycarbonate machining fits into it.
To do that, you need to understand the finer points of polycarbonate, which is a durable plastic capable of withstanding almost anything thrown at it when crafted by skilled polycarbonate fabricators.
Polycarbonate, otherwise known as PC, is an amorphous thermoplastic. It’s translucent naturally, which is one of several reasons that it can be used in place of glass.
We say it’s amorphous because it can change shape at a low temperature, yet it has an impressive continuous use temperature range of 265 degrees Fahrenheit. When polycarbonate is at room temperature, you can twist and bend it.
In polycarbonate machining, temperature control matters because the material behaves very differently when it’s heated versus when it’s in service.
At high temperatures, it’s extraordinarily pliable, allowing it to effortlessly fit into and onto molds. However, due to its continuous use range, polycarbonate plastic is resistant to high temperatures once it’s molded.
Expert polycarbonate fabricators can talk you through how polycarbonate can be used for your project’s specifications.
