Polycarbonate
What is Polycarbonate?
Amorphous and naturally transparent polycarbonate (PC) plastics are widely used in construction. The raw material permits interior light transmission almost to the same extent as glass, despite being made commercially available in a variety of colors (some translucent, others not). When impact resistance and/or transparency are required for a product, polycarbonate polymers can be used to fabricate a wide range of materials (e.g. in bullet-proof glass).
One of the most popular engineering thermoplastics, polycarbonate (PC), is transparent and has excellent toughness, thermal stability, and dimensional stability. Riot shields, burglar-proof glass, baby feeding bottles, electrical components, safety helmets, and headlight lenses are a few common PC applications.
How is Polycarbonate made?
Polycarbonate is produced chemically when phosgene COCl2 and bisphenol A (BPA) combine. The initial patent for it was submitted in 1953 by Hermann Schnell at Bayer under the name Melron (later changed to Makloron). Today, polycarbonate is produced in a similar way using injection moulding or extrusion. The BPA is occasionally replaced by other diols to enhance or modify its physical properties. Tetrabromobisphenol A is widely used to increase fire protection, whereas tetramethylcyclobutanediol is utilised to create BPA-free polycarbonate.
Polycarbonate uses/forms
Even at very low temperatures, the resilient, translucent material polycarbonate has outstanding strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. Polycarbonate sheet, rod, and tube have excellent dimensional stability and are simple to machine. PC has different uses, and a few of them are listed below-
