- Economical thermal performance
Altron™ 1000 PC
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.
