TEAM MFG, a leading distributor of polycarbonate, can help you find the right material for your project. We offer injection molding, cnc machining, vacuum forming etc to help you with your custom parts in different volumes.

What Is Polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate is a widely used plastic material used in the manufacture of various plastics, such as eyeglasses and safety glasses. It is an impact-resistant material that can be used in place of glass. These polymers have a carbonate structure that allows them to be transparent. They can also transmit light with their transparent structure. Its strong structure is created by the presence of the phenyl groups and methyl groups. These groups act as linear chains that are tightly bound together.

Polycarbonate Thermoforming

Thermoforming is a process utilized for making plastic components such as components for a car or a product that has a certain shape. This process involves heating the plastic to a flexible state, then fitting it to a custom mold or tool.

Vacuum Forming

This technique involves a vacuum forming tool that is mounted between a piece of plastic and a tool. The vacuum forces the plastic against the shape of the object. It's a simple and effective method for creating curved and large pieces.

Pressure Forming

Pressure forming is a technique that we use to achieve the desired shape of large pieces of plastic, such as car parts and headlamp bezels. This procedure works by pushing the plastic against a tool that fits to the body.

Twin-Sheet Forming

Twin sheet forming is a process that involves forming two sheets of plastic at the same time. This method produces molded products with a high degree of precision and integrity.

Injection Molding Polycarbonate

For highly detailed and small-scale plastic injection molding pieces, we use a polycarbonate injection mold. This procedure involves heating the plastic to its liquid state before placing it into a double-sided molded.

Applications of Polycarbonate

One of the main advantages of polycarbonate is that it can transmit light better than other kinds of glass. It has a low scratch resistance and is very flexible. In addition, it has a light weight and is commonly used to make hard coating for eyeglasses. There are a wide ranges polycarbonate's applications such as:

Electronic screen displays for televisions, monitors, and tablets.

Cellphone frames and screens

Windows and windshields in golf carts and other vehicles

Shatterproof glass and bulletproof glass

Data storage devices, including CDs and DVDs

Safety glasses
