Polycarbonate
(76 items)
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic characterized by light weight, high-impact strength and flexibility. Polycarbonate is shatter-resistant and resists electricity, so it is often used in products made to withstand heavy usage or electrical charges. Some examples of its uses include: sunglass/eyeglass lenses, electronic casings, CDs and DVDs, and containers used for camping, hydration and storage.
