PC/ABS – Polycarbonate and ABS Blend
PC/ABS is a polymer blend combining the high toughness of polycarbonate with the good processability and excellent surface finish of ABS. This combination makes it one of the most widely used materials for the automotive industry, consumer electronics, and electrical engineering.
Advantages
- High toughness
- Better heat resistance than ABS
- Better processability than pure PC
- Good dimensional stability
- High-quality surface appearance
- Good electrical insulation
- Good impact resistance
- Easy to paint
Disadvantages
- Higher cost than ABS
- Requires drying
- Poorer chemical resistance than PP
- Limited UV resistance without stabilization
