Why Electrical Equipment Manufacturers Rely on Glass-Reinforced Polycarbonate
Electrical equipment manufacturers must select materials that can withstand mechanical loads, elevated temperatures and demanding operating conditions while maintaining dimensional accuracy and electrical insulation. Glass-reinforced polycarbonate (PC) addresses these requirements by combining polycarbonate resin with glass-fibre reinforcement. The resulting material offers increased stiffness, improved dimensional stability and heat resistance compared with unreinforced polycarbonate, making it suitable for a range of electrical and industrial components. Kapoor Sales Corporation supplies glass-filled LEXAN™ polycarbonate grades from SABIC Innovative Plastics India Pvt. Ltd., with reinforcement levels and flame-retardant formulations for different manufacturing requirements. Why Glass-Filled Polycarbonate Is Used in Electrical Components Glass-fibre reinforcement changes the mechanical characteristics of polycarbonate, helping manufacturers produce rigid components that maintain their...
