Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Rods

- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -40° to 240° F
- Tensile Strength: 9,100-9,500 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 2 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
- Hardness: Rockwell M70 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D3935, ASTM D6098, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1580, UL 94 HB
Use these opaque polycarbonate rods in applications where impact could damage other plastic. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It stands up to higher temperatures than ABS, plus it is thermoformable.

High-Strength Glass-Filled Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Rods

- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -40° to 265° F
- Tensile Strength: 12,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: 2.06 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
- Hardness: Rockwell M87 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D3935, ASTM D6098, UL 94 HB
Stronger than standard polycarbonate rods, these glass-filled rods will better maintain their physical properties when thermoforming. Use them for structural applications. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Clear Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Tubes
- Color: Clear
- Temperature Range: -40° to 200° F
- Tensile Strength: 8,900-9,500 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 12-18 ft.-lbs./in. (Excellent)
- Hardness: Rockwell R118 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
Comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon, these polycarbonate tubes are half the weight of glass and maintain excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. Use them to make instrument gauge covers and display racks.
