PC 聚碳酸酯
典型應(yīng)用范圍:
電氣和商業(yè)設(shè)備（計(jì)算機(jī)元件、連接器等），器具（食品加工機(jī)、電冰箱抽屜等），交通運(yùn)輸行業(yè)
（車輛的前后燈、儀表板等）。
注塑模工藝條件:
干燥處理：PC材料具有吸濕性，加工前的干燥很重要。建議干燥條件為100C到200C，3~4小時(shí)。加工
前的濕度必須小于0.02%。
熔化溫度：260~340C。
模具溫度：70~120C。
注射壓力：盡可能地使用高注射壓力。
注射速度：對(duì)于較小的澆口使用低速注射，對(duì)其它類型的澆口使用高速注射。
化學(xué)和物理特性:
PC是一種非晶體工程材料，具有特別好的抗沖擊強(qiáng)度、熱穩(wěn)定性、光澤度、抑制細(xì)菌特性、阻燃特
性以及抗污染性。PC的缺口伊估德沖擊強(qiáng)度（otched Izod impact stregth）非常高，并且收縮
率很低，一般為0.1%~0.2%。
PC有很好的機(jī)械特性，但流動(dòng)特性較差，因此這種材料的注塑過(guò)程較困難。在選用何種品質(zhì)的 PC
材料時(shí)，要以產(chǎn)品的最終期望為基準(zhǔn)。如果塑件要求有較高的抗沖擊性，那么就使用低流動(dòng)率的
PC材料；反之，可以使用高流動(dòng)率的PC材料，這樣可以優(yōu)化注塑過(guò)程。

Injection Molding Processing Conditions
|
Drying
|
PC resins are hygroscopic and pre-drying is important. Recommended drying conditions are 100 - 120 C (212 - 248 F) for 3 to 4 hours. Moisture content must be less than 0.02% prior to processing.
|
|
Melt Temperature
|
260 - 340 C (500 - 644 F); higher range for low MFR resins and vice-versa
|
|
Mold Temperature
|
70 - 120 C (158 - 248 F); higher range for low MFR resins and vice-versa
|
|
Fill Pressure
|
As high as possible for rapid molding
|
|
Injection Speed
|
Slow injection speeds when small or edge gates are used; high speeds for other types of gates

Chemical and Physical Properties
Polycarbonate is a polyester of carbonic acid. All general-purpose polycarbonates are based on bisphenol A. The bisphenol A component of the molecule contributes to the high glass transition temperature (150 C / 302 F). The rotational mobility of the carbonyl group within the molecule contributes to the high ductility and toughness of the resin.
PC is an amorphous engineering resin with exceptionally good impact strength, heat resistance, clarity, sterilizability, flame retardancy, and stain resistance. The notched Izod impact strength of PC is very high and mold shrinkage is low and consistent (.1 -.2 mm/mm).
High molecular weight PCs (which translate to low melt flow rate) have higher mechanical properties, but processibility of such resins becomes difficult. The type of PC chosen for a particular application should be based on the desired criteria (for high impact properties, use a low-MFR PC; conversely, for optimal processibility, use a high-MFR PC).
The melt viscosities are typically Newtonian up to shear rates of 1000 1/s and decrease beyond that. The Heat Deflection Temperature Under Load is typically between 130 -140 C (266 - 284 F) and the Vicat Softening Point is typically around 155 C (311 F).
