Polycarbonate Rod is a transparent thermoplastic that exhibits high impact resistance, good machinability, and excellent electrical properties.

Polycarbonate Rod withstands higher temperatures compared than ABS and also thermoformable. It can be heated and molded into various shapes without losing their strength.

Its low moisture absorption rate and good chemical resistance make it an extremely versatile engineering material suitable for industrial applications.
Polycarbonate Rod has excellent dimensional stability and maintains good strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range.

Machine-grade Polycarbonate is stress-relieved, making it perfect for producing close-tolerance machined parts.

These make it ideal for various applications, including protective equipment, electrical components, and custom machining projects.
