[Wear Resistant Thermoplastics]
 
These compounds are common formulations which provide comparative information on the wear properties of this resin and various combinations of additives.

Instead of off-the-shelf solutions, RTP Company routinely develops specialty compounds with a precise combination of properties such as conductivity, flame retardance, structural reinforcement, color, and wear resistance to meet your exact application requirements.

RTP 300 Series
Polycarbonate
Compounds

Advantages • Creep resistance
• Toughness
• Dimensional stability

Limitations • Poor chemical resistance
• Processing difficulties
• Low fatigue endurance

Polycarbonate possesses excellent impact strength, high heat resistance and good dimensional stability. It was one of the first thermoplastics to offer these properties. Although it is stable to water, mineral and organic acids, it is partially soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons, soluble in the chlorinated ones, and decomposes in strongly alkaline substances. It has good electrical properties.

The strength and dimensional stability of polycarbonates are further enhanced with fibrous glass reinforcement.

Reinforcement with 40% glass reduces the thermal expansion to 1.0 in/in/degrees F x 10E-5 (1.8 cm/cm/degrees C x 10E-5), which is below that of most thermoplastics and some metals. The tensile modulus is increased fivefold. Flexural, tensile and compressive strengths are doubled. Mold shrinkage is reduced, making it possible to produce very precise parts.
