Tisarbon® PC

Tisarbon® PC is the registered trade mark for Polycarbonate compounds produced by Tisan. Polycarbonate is a member of the best known amorphous engineering polymers. High light transmission properties and optical applications are preferred. Structure is very sensitive to moisture so as to use special injection conditions is very important. Polycarbonate possesses excellent impact strength, high heat resistance and good dimensional stability. Although it is stable to water, mineral and organic acids, it is partially soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons, soluble in the chlorinated ones and decomposes in strongly alkaline substances. It has good electrical properties. Products made out of polycarbonate boast a long life and allow efficient reusability. Tisarbon® PC compounds is the excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures. Dimensional stability is high; ageing resistance is excellent if parts are produced without internal stresses. Tisarbon® PC being a good electrical insulator having heat and flame resistant properties, it is used in myriad products associated with electrical and telecommunications hardware. Tisarbon® PC can produce very smooth surfaces the automotive industry that make it well suited for direct metalised parts such as decorative parts and optical reflectors. Tisarbon® PC compounds with better self-lubricating properties are available by adding substances able to improve the tribological properties of the material. Tisarbon® PC, formulations can also be developed to meet specific market needs.
