Benefits of polycarbonate molding

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer that contains carbonate groups within its chemical makeup. Also known as LEXAN, it comes in many colors and can be easily molded into district shapes and forms when exposed to heat. 

Polycarbonate exhibits an array of performance characteristics. Examples include:

  • High Impact Resistance
  • Strong Temperature Resistance
  • Superior Dimensional Stability
  • Robust Self-Extinguishing Properties
  • Exceptional Clarity
  • Superior Light Transmission
  • Excellent Electrical Insulation
  • Recyclable

Common Applications

Rather than burning, polycarbonate turns into a liquid when its melting point is reached. This means it can be remolded or recycled, which may be valuable for companies aiming to highlight sustainable practices. 

The ability to withstand impacts, especially across a wide temperature range, means polycarbonate is regularly used to create parts for challenging applications. Here are some examples:

 

  • Appliance Parts
  • Electrical Components
  • Medical Equipment
  • Outdoor Signage
  • Safety Face Shields
  • Storage Modules
  • Communications Equipment
  • Aircraft Parts
  • Roofing Materials

Turning Polycarbonate Into The Parts You Need

Our area of expertise is transforming LEXAN into high-quality components using your print, specification, or purchase order requirements. If you’re facing a challenge that requires a custom solution, we’ve got you covered there, too. The Custom Plastics team works with you to understand your needs and challenges before developing a prototype for testing and proving out. Once the concept is validated, full-scale production gets underway.
