Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this 0.197" thick polycarbonate stock sheet (21" x 44") is formulated to provide inherent lubricity, reducing wear and friction in dynamic systems. Its high impact strength, combined with excellent chemical resistance and a wide operating temperature range, ensures longevity and dependable operation. This material is ideal for applications requiring self-lubricating properties without the need for external greases or oils, such as chutes, liners, wear strips, and guide rails in material handling equipment. The dimensional stability of polycarbonate further contributes to its suitability for precision components.
