Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer containing carbonate groups in its chemical structure. It is known to be a very durable and, in some forms, transparent material and is used in many applications, including safety devices, eyeglass lenses, transparent covers, building panels, electronic devices, and more.
Its versatility, heat and UV resistance, as well as its dimensional stability make it a popular material in many industries, from the automotive and aviation industries to use in medical devices and packaging. It is used for making guards where ballistic-type sealing is required without shattering. Polycarbonate has also been frequently used for the production of CDs, DVDs and Blu- Rays because of its transparency and impact resistance.
