PC Powder (Polycarbonate)
PC (polycarbonate) powder is supplied in free-flowing form for coating, molding, and specialty processing applications. It offers high impact resistance and inherent flame retardance, along with good clarity in its natural state. Typical particle size ranges from roughly 20 to 150 µm depending on grade; particle size and specific grade are confirmed at time of quotation.
