Clear polycarbonate supplier — injection and extrusion grades by melt flow

About clear polycarbonate

Polycarbonate combines glass-like clarity with very high impact strength and good heat resistance. Grades are usually chosen by melt flow rate (measured at 300°C / 1.2 kg): lower MFR for extrusion and the toughest parts, higher MFR for thin walls, long flow paths and optical parts. Buyers also specify notched Izod, UV stabilization, release agent, food-contact status and flame rating. Polycarbonate must be dried thoroughly before molding.
