PC 1000 machine grade polycarbonate is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic, which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. These properties, in addition to good electrical insulating and dielectric properties, make it an excellent choice for electrical/electronic applications. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications such as sight glasses and windows.
