Ploycarbonate (PC) capped ABS sheet for vacuum forming

Ploycarbonate (PC) capped ABS sheet

Polycarbonate (PC) capped ABS sheet refers to a type of Vacuum Forming Plastic sheet that is composed of a layer of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) material with a thin layer of polycarbonate (PC) material on top. This combination of materials provides the sheet with enhanced properties and benefits.

The ABS layer in the sheet provides good impact resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability. ABS is a commonly used thermoplastic known for its strength and durability. It also offers good chemical resistance and can withstand a wide range of temperatures.

The polycarbonate layer on top of the ABS sheet provides additional benefits such as high transparency, excellent light transmission, and resistance to UV radiation. Polycarbonate is a transparent Thermoforming Plastic that is known for its optical clarity and impact resistance. It is often used in applications where transparency and impact resistance are crucial, such as in safety glazing, protective shields, and signage.

The combination of ABS and polycarbonate in a PC capped ABS sheet results in a material that offers the best of both worlds. It combines the strength and toughness of ABS with the transparency and impact resistance of polycarbonate. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive parts, consumer electronics, protective covers, and industrial equipment.
