Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers characterized by the presence of carbonate groups in their chemical structure. Known for their high strength, toughness, and optical clarity, polycarbonates are versatile materials used across a wide range of industries. Some specific grades of polycarbonates offer transparency, making them ideal for applications in various fields like automotive, electronics, and construction.
These polymers are not only easily molded and thermoformed, but also exhibit excellent resistance to impact and heat, making them suitable for high-performance applications. Their ability to be recycled and processed into various shapes, coupled with their stability in a range of temperatures, makes them indispensable in engineering plastics.
Polycarbonates are most commonly produced via two methods: the phosgene process and the non-phosgene process. The phosgene method involves reacting bisphenol-A with phosgene, while the non-phosgene process eliminates the use of phosgene, presenting an alternative for sustainability-conscious manufacturers. This flexibility in production processes, along with their diverse applications, explains polycarbonates' dominance in the thermoplastic market.
