Transparent plastic in rod form, distinguished by its exceptional impact resistance, high optical clarity, and wide operating temperature range.
PC (Polycarbonate) rods are semi-finished engineering plastics distinguished by their exceptional impact resistance, high optical clarity, and wide operating temperature range. In addition to being much lighter than glass, they exhibit superior resistance against impacts.
PC rods are a reliable solution in the manufacturing of transparent and durable parts thanks to their mechanical strength, easy machinability, and long-lasting performance.
Polycarbonate is a material that combines high impact resistance and toughness properties with optical clarity, maintaining its mechanical properties over a wide temperature range.
Exhibits superior resistance against breakage, offering safety and durability.
Provides clear vision and high light transmittance.
Provides ease of use with a much lighter structure compared to glass.
Maintains its performance even under demanding temperature conditions.
Highly suitable for machining via CNC.
Offers good dimensional stability and long service life.
PC rods are preferred in the machining of custom mechanical components requiring high impact resistance and transparency. They ensure long-lasting use by maintaining their structural integrity even under demanding conditions.
PC rods are used in the manufacturing of custom parts requiring impact resistance and transparency.
