Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this 0.986-inch thick polycarbonate sheet boasts a substantial 23-inch by 44-inch dimension. Polycarbonate's inherent lubricity, combined with its high impact strength (Izod impact strength typically > 600 J/m) and excellent chemical resistance, makes it ideal for components in sliding mechanisms, wear pads, and self-lubricating bearings. Its thermal stability allows operation within a wide temperature range (-100°C to 120°C), and its low coefficient of friction minimizes energy loss and component degradation in high-cycle applications.
