Polycarbonate (PC) resins are a type of thermoplastic resins which are
formed out of ring structured aromatic polycarbonate combinations. These resins
are known for their exceptional mechanical properties, and their heat and
freeze resistance attributes as well. Polycarbonates find their applications in
engineering are tough materials and some grades are optically transparent.
Polycarbonates are also good electrical insulators and possess flame retardant
properties. The material is commercially available as three broadly classified
grades; injection molding, UV stabilized and optical.
More Info on
Polycarbonate Resins:
Majority of the products made out of polycarbonate resins are made by
subjecting a polycarbonate resin to an injection molding process where the
polymerized material hardens inside a mold until it permanently takes on its
allotted shape. Polycarbonate resins cannot have low tolerance level to
solvents such as benzene or acetone which are otherwise found in household
cleaning products. In such cases the material is treated with a coating which
can insure damage against exposure to such chemicals or even ultraviolet
radiation. Such treated polycarbonate resins are considered to be of the UV
stabilized grade.
One major advantage for polycarbonate resins are its unique properties
with various applications. These properties of polycarbonates cannot be easily
substituted with some other thermoplastics. Owing to their high density and
impact strength, they have a broad range of applications in manufacturing
products such as optical disks, eyeglasses, bullet proof glasses, medical
equipment, automotive, aerospace and security components.
Polycarbonates are
most commonly used in manufacturing optical disks, optical wear, headlamp
lenses and sporting helmets and in manufacturing high quality optical products
for military grade applications. As per the latest trend of innovative wear, polycarbonates
due to their light weight and electrical properties are used in development of
electronic display screens that replace glass.

Polycarbonates
dominated the market for vehicle headlamp covers for more than a decade. Now
with advanced tools and machinery, polycarbonate glazing is being molded into
even larger parts which saves considerable weight and offers better design and
styling. With the demand for fuel efficient automobiles resulting in the
increased demand for lighter automobile parts, the automotive sector will be
the second largest contributor to revenues for polycarbonate, but is the
fastest growing market. With the increased demand for consumer electronics, moderate
to good revenue growth rates for the polycarbonates industry can be projected
for at least the next five years. Developing regions, such as India, South-East
Asia and China will be the major contributors to the growth of consumer
electronics making it the largest market for this industry.
Optical
media for storage has already been substituted with other forms of data
storage, thus a contracting market is witnessed for polycarbonates resin here.
Some developing nations and the innovation of Blu-ray discs still has the
market afloat, but overall the market has begun to decline. Polycarbonate resin
in building and construction sector is driven by PC sheet in glazing and its
growing demand in the Asian region. The latter stages of 2015 and its
succeeding years will witness moderate prices as supply become easier, owing to
increased petrochemical production and decrease in crude oil prices globally.

Asia Pacific has been prominent in the global polycarbonate market,
both on the production and consumption front. The demand for polycarbonate
resins is mainly driven by developing economies such as India and China. Bayer Material Science AG (Germany), Saudi
Basic Industries Corp., Innovative Plastics (U.S.) are the major global players,
these are followed by Teijin Ltd. (Japan) and constitute around 60% of the
current 4.56 million tons production capacity in the market. Mitsubishi
Engineering Plastics Corporation (Japan), LG Polycarbonate Ltd. (South Korea) and Idemitsu Kosan Co Ltd.
(Japan) are among other major suppliers for polycarbonate resins with a strong
presence in the Asia Pacific market. Europe can be considered to be one of the
rapidly growing markets for polycarbonates owing to the developments in the
automobile sector, followed by America.
