Polycarbonate Uses in Plastic Injection Molding

Polycarbonate (PC) is a naturally transparent plastic often used in injection molding processes. At room temperature, it is incredibly strong and durable upon impact, and since it has about the same transparency as glass, polycarbonate is most commonly used in applications that need material to be strong yet see-through, usually eyeglass lenses.

Polycarbonate is an amorphous material, giving it inherent shatter resistance. It’s also heat-resistant and transparent, making it useful for a lot of food and beverage plastic storage applications. Polycarbonate consists of several different monomer types in combination with one another, also known as a copolymer. When set to a high enough temperature, polycarbonate will liquefy and become usable in plastic injection molding processes.
