Polycarbonate PC Injection Molding
Impact-resistant and transparent options for covers, lenses and durable housings.
When PC fits
Impact-resistant and transparent options for covers, lenses and durable housings. The first quote should connect this material to part geometry, wall thickness, gate location, finish and tolerance.
Main molding risk
Strong and clear; drying, gate stress and cosmetic marks matter.

RFQ notes for this material
Material pages are meant to prevent vague resin requests. The same part can behave differently when the resin grade, filler, color, finish, wall thickness and drying control change. Buyers should describe the real operating environment, the cosmetic expectation and the dimensions that cannot drift after molding.
When the project has compliance, food-contact, flame-retardant, outdoor or traceability needs, the quote should state those needs before tooling assumptions are locked. That lets the engineering review connect material behavior with gate location, shrinkage, inspection records and production release evidence.
