Polycarbonate, also known as PC resin, is a type of engineering plastic, which is a generic term for plastics that are specially designed for enhanced strength, temperature resistance, and other mechanical properties. Polycarbonate resin is primarily used for industrial applications, such for machine parts and electronic components, where its light weight and superior shock absorption qualities provide a distinct advantage over heavier, more rigid materials. Polycarbonate resin’s high transparency coupled with its sturdiness and non-shatter properties also make it a viable and safe replacement for glass.
