Typical Applications
Transparent Components
Covers, lenses and guards requiring impact and optical performance.
Lighting Products
Lenses and housings selected for heat, UV and optical requirements.
Electrical Housings
Parts requiring impact, heat and potentially flame-retardant performance.
Technical Moldings
Structural and functional components requiring dimensional and mechanical performance.
Grade Selection Factors
The following factors are application references, not guaranteed specifications. Final selection must be confirmed using the current producer TDS, COA and customer requirements.
| Selection Item | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Flow | Match part thickness, flow length and gate design. |
| Optical requirement | Define clarity, haze, tint and surface quality. |
| UV and weathering | Confirm indoor or outdoor use and exposure duration. |
| Flame rating | State required rating and test thickness. |
Information Needed for Quotation
Current grade, transparent or opaque use, process, wall thickness, optical target, UV, flame rating, color, quantity and destination port.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does all PC resin have the same transparency?
No. Optical quality, color and additive packages vary.
Can PC be used outdoors?
Use an appropriate UV-stabilized grade and confirm weathering requirements.
Why is drying important?
Moisture can cause degradation and appearance defects during processing.
