Product Overview
Product Details
Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials is marketing non-UV-stabilized polycarbonate stock shapes under the trade name Altron™ 1000 PC. It is a natural, "non-optical" industrial quality (clear, translucent). The above mentioned properties, in addition to good electrical characteristics, make Altron™ 1000 PC machine grade polycarbonate stock shapes 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.
Altron™ 1000 PC machine grade polycarbonate is stress relieved making it ideal for close tolerance machined parts.
Insulators
Insulators made of Altron™ 1000 PC Polycarbonate provide excellent dielectric strength in electrical applications. (Prior material: PTFE)
Sight Glasses
On gasoline tankers, a sight glass machined from Altron™ 1000 PC Polycarbonate tubular bar permits drivers to easily inspect tank level. (Prior material: Glass)
Manifolds
Altron™ 1000 PC Polycarbonate plate is easily machined into impact resistant manifolds for a variety of industries. (Prior material: Acrylic)
Altron™ 1000 PC polycarbonate is a machining grade, not optically clear. It can be both mechanically and vapor polished to improve optical clarity. Caution: During machining, never use coolants with an aromatic base.
