Specifications
Polycarbonate
POLYCARBONATE
NOTE
Features excellent strength, stiffness and impact resistance, very good thermal stability, tough yet flexible down to -150° F,
excellent dimensional accuracy and stability, weather resistance, excellent light transmission (up to 89% with translucent
grades), good electrical insulating properties. High gloss finish.
Mechanical fastening is a good technique for attaching materials and components to polycarbonate. It is relatively quick and
provides high assembly strength. In addition, mechanical fastening does not subject the plastic to chemical changes,
accordingly, losses in the properties of the polycarbonate are minimized.
Screws are one form of mechanical fastening used to minimize induced assembly stresses in polycarbonate use. Thread
cutting, rather than thread forming screws are recommended. A thread forming screw merely displaces material, setting-up
areas of high stress.
THREAD CUTTING screws remove material and do not cause excessive stress when used properly.
POLYCARBONATE IS NOT TOLERANT OF OIL IN GENERAL AND HIGH SULPHIDE OILS, IN PARTICULAR. IF OIL IS
CONTINUOUSLY PRESENT, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND POLYCARBONATE.
