Polycarbonate Testing Instruments

Polycarbonate (PC) plastics are transparent amorphous thermoplastic. Available in various colours, the raw material allows for the internal transmission of light nearly in the same capacity as glass. Polycarbonate polymers are used in variety of materials. Especially useful when impact resistance and transparency are a product requirement such as in bullet-proof glass. PC is used for plastic lenses in eyewear, in medical devices, automotive components, protective gear, greenhouses, Digital Disks (CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray), and exterior lighting fixtures. Polycarbonates are resistant to heat and can be used with flame retardant materials without significant material degradation. Polycarbonate is engineering plastic used for robust materials such as impact-resistant “glass-like” surfaces. Polycarbonate is an incredibly useful plastic for applications requiring transparency and high impact resistance. It is a lighter alternative to glass and a natural UV filter, so it is often used in eyewear. Manufacturers of polycarbonate plastics can use various instruments to test the quality such as Polycarbonate Testing Instruments to ensure safety to the products.
