Polycarbonate (PC) is the only material among the “Big Five” engineering plastics that combines exceptional transparency with high mechanical strength, achieving visible light transmission exceeding 90% alongside virtually unbreakable impact resistance, outstanding heat resistance, and dimensional stability. The Covestro Makrolon PC series supplied by resinpc.com covers UV-stabilized, flame-retardant, medical-grade, and high-viscosity easy-release grades, widely used in automotive components, electronics, medical devices, and food-contact applications.
On the market side, the global PC market is projected to range between USD 7 billion and USD 11 billion in 2026, with a CAGR of approximately 2.2%–4.2% from 2026 to 2031. PC performs across a temperature spectrum from −100°C to 130°C, combining excellent electrical insulation with low smoke and low corrosive gas emissions, making it particularly suitable for office machines, communication equipment, instrumentation, and transparent medical devices requiring repeated disinfection. UV-resistant PC sheet achieves up to 89% light transmission with impact strength 250–300 times that of glass, suited to glazing, automotive, and protective equipment applications. The Makrolon ET UV130 high-viscosity easy-release grade offered by resinpc.com is designed for coextrusion, meeting demanding requirements for weatherability and processing stability in outdoor and optical components
