Windows and covers
For a visible cover or window, specify the viewing area, wall thickness, target color and electrical acceptance positions.
PC Materials
For a transparent cover or functional component, review appearance, electrical requirements and the finished-part test together before selecting a PC candidate.
Find a PC material for your part
Review candidate data against the drawing, appearance specification, electrical test and processing route.
No confirmed grade is currently listed in this category.
Share your current PC resin code, processing route and finished-part acceptance criteria for a candidate review.
Review appearance and function together
Agree on how the finished part will be evaluated before comparing candidates.
Transparency, color and electrical target
Share a color or transparency reference, the required electrical property and test method. Ask for a grade review covering both, then inspect a representative molded sample.
Thickness and surface
Mark critical wall thickness, texture and gate area on the drawing. Agree on lighting, viewing position and measurement points for appearance and electrical checks.
Assembly stress and service environment
Describe clips, fasteners, contact pressure, temperature, cleaning chemicals and exposure. Evaluate the proposed formulation and assembly under representative conditions.
Start with the component
Illustrative applications below describe part geometry, not confirmed PC projects or supplied grades.
Precision molded components
Review tolerances, clips, assembly loads and the appearance of surfaces that contact other parts.
Explore precision partsMatch the material to the process
Confirm grade-specific guidance and use the actual part or sheet for the final evaluation.
Injection molding
Record material preparation, mold and machine settings. Check critical thickness, appearance and electrical measurements on representative parts.
Injection molding guidance
Extrusion enquiry
Share the sheet or profile geometry and intended line. Request an appropriate extrusion candidate and a plan for sampling across the section.
Extrusion guidanceInvestigate common trial questions
Compare representative samples under the same conditions and retain the process record.
Appearance differs from the reference
Clarity and colorWhat to check
Compare thickness, texture, lighting and viewing position; keep electrical checks on the same sample.
Useful records
Reference sample, drawing, thickness and inspection setup.
Electrical readings vary
Part measurementWhat to check
Confirm test method, conditioning, contact positions and surface preparation before comparing parts.
Useful records
Test standard, instrument, contact map and results.
Marks appear after assembly
Fit and service conditionsWhat to check
Review clip loads, fastener force, handling, cleaning agents and elapsed time using representative parts.
Useful records
Assembly sequence, photographs, environment and reference parts.
Sheet readings vary from edge to center
Extrusion trialWhat to check
Compare specimens at measured thicknesses in the same orientation. Check contact conditions and recorded line settings before changing the blend.
Useful records
Strip positions, local thickness, machine direction and test setup.
Selecting a grade for a new part
PC · Selection enquiryWhat to check
Share the exact PC grade in use, processing route and the required electrical test. Confirm a candidate and its processing window before a trial.
Useful records
Current resin code, component dimensions and target metric with its unit.
Plan a PC material trial
Carry appearance, electrical and assembly criteria through the same evaluation.
Share the drawing
Identify viewing areas, thickness, color, mounting points and operating environment.
Review a candidate
Request the current grade information, processing guidance and sample availability.
Evaluate the part
Compare appearance and electrical results at agreed locations; inspect representative assembled parts.
Prepare the trial record
Agree on acceptance before making a purchasing decision.
Appearance reference
Record lighting, viewing angle, color reference and critical thickness.
Electrical test
Agree on property, unit, conditioning, instrument and contact positions.
Assembly and exposure
Record fit, applied load and relevant service environment for a representative check.
Questions about PC materials
Can transparency and an electrical target be combined?
Share the appearance reference, electrical specification, test method and part geometry. A proposed formulation needs verification on a representative sample.
Why check the actual wall thickness?
Appearance and measurement can depend on part geometry and surface. Agree on critical locations and sample conditions before comparing results.
What should I share about assembly?
Describe clips, fasteners, loads, cleaning and the expected environment. Review the assembled part against agreed acceptance criteria.
Can I blend a concentrate with my existing PC?
Discuss the exact resin grade, carrier compatibility and feeding method before a trial. Explore conductive masterbatches for the concentrate selection path.
What if the directory does not list a candidate for my part?
Send the current PC resin code, required wall thickness, appearance reference and electrical acceptance test. Ask for the current grade identity and technical sheet before planning a trial.
