Overview
High Transparency Injection Grade PC is a specialized polycarbonate engineered for applications requiring optical clarity and durability. Unlike standard PC, it undergoes stringent purification to eliminate impurities that could compromise transparency. Its molecular structure provides a unique balance of rigidity and flexibility, making it ideal for precision-molded parts. Developed as an alternative to glass, this material is 250 times more impact-resistant while maintaining comparable light transmission. It is commonly supplied in pellet form for injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding processes, with grades tailored for medical, automotive, and electronics industries.
Physical and Chemical Properties
This PC grade exhibits a refractive index of 1.584, closely matching that of optical glass. Its tensile strength ranges from 55–75 MPa, with a Rockwell M hardness of ~70. The material retains stability across temperatures from -40°C to 120°C, with a Vicat softening point of approximately 145°C. Chemically, it resists dilute acids, alcohols, and aliphatic hydrocarbons but may degrade upon prolonged exposure to alkali or aromatic solvents. Notably, it achieves UL94 V-0 flammability rating without additives, a critical feature for electronic enclosures.
Main Applications
In the medical sector, it is used for surgical instrument housings and IV connectors due to autoclavability and biocompatibility. Automotive applications include headlamp lenses and dashboard panels, where its weatherability prevents yellowing under UV exposure. The electronics industry leverages its dielectric properties for touchscreen covers and LED light guides. Emerging uses include augmented reality visors and lab-on-a-chip devices, capitalizing on its machinability for microfluidic channels.
Safety and Storage
While non-hazardous in solid form, processing above 300°C may release bisphenol A vapors—adequate ventilation is mandatory. Pellets should be dried at 120°C for 4 hours before molding to prevent hydrolytic degradation. Storage requires moisture-proof packaging with desiccants. Prolonged exposure to humidity (>0.02% water content) causes hydrolysis, reducing molecular weight and mechanical properties. Shelf life is typically 12 months in original packaging under recommended conditions.
B2B Procurement Guide
Industrial buyers should verify ISO 13485 certification for medical applications or IATF 16949 for automotive use. Key specifications include yellowness index (<1.5), haze (<1%), and birefringence levels for optical uses. Bulk orders (≥1 ton) often qualify for 8–12% discounts. Consider regional suppliers for logistics efficiency—Asian manufacturers dominate production, but European producers offer superior consistency for high-end applications. Always request material datasheets with batch-specific test reports.
