FAQ of Polycarbonate Injection Molding
Is polycarbonate suitable for precision injection molding?
Yes. Injection molding polycarbonate allows for the production of high-precision, transparent parts with excellent strength and dimensional accuracy, ideal for optical and structural uses.
What are the key molding challenges for PC material?
Polycarbonate is sensitive to moisture and stress, requiring pre-drying and careful mold temperature control. Incorrect processing may lead to bubbles, warping, or internal cracks.
Can PC be overmolded or used in insert molding?
Yes. Polycarbonate plastic molding supports both techniques, but adhesion with secondary materials needs to be carefully validated.
Is medical-grade or flame-retardant PC available?
We provide various grades of PC including FDA-approved, medical-grade, and UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant materials, suitable for regulated applications.
How does polycarbonate compare to PMMA (acrylic)?
PC is much tougher and more impact-resistant than PMMA, and performs better in high-heat environments. PMMA, on the other hand, offers better scratch resistance and higher light transmittance.
What's the typical lead time for custom polycarbonate injection molding?
Tooling typically takes 2–4 weeks. Production starts after mold validation, depending on part complexity and order quantity.
