Polycarbonate Rods

Machine Grade polycarbonate rod is a semi-transparent thermoplastic that exhibits extraordinary impact resistance and excellent electrical properties. In addition, its low moisture absorption rate and good chemical resistance make it an extremely versatile engineering material and allow for its use in a multitude of industrial applications.

Machine Grade polycarbonate rod has excellent dimensional stability and good strength and stiffness over a wide range of temperatures. Polycarbonate offers very high impact strength, a high modulus of elasticity, and a 270ºF (132ºC) heat deflection temperature at 264 psi.
