Vapor Polished Polycarbonate Manifold

POLYCARBONATE

Versatile and tough, this engineering plastic resists impact.

For superior impact resistance in your applications, consider POLYCARBONATE machine-grade thermoplastic. This transparent material has a high modulus of elasticity, without compromising strength or structure. Excellent electrical properties and low moisture absorption extend its viability for use in a variety of electronic applications. For increased rigidity, machine-grade POLYCARBONATE can be reinforced with glass fiber.

Easily machined, polished, welded, and bonded, POLYCARBONATE transmits 88% of light, making it ideal for windows and similar transparent products.
