TECANAT™ TECANAT™ GF20

(Polycarbonate and glass filled polycarbonate)


TECANAT™ is a natural unfilled polycarbonate that has transparency, excellent impact strength and tensile properties. TECANAT™ GF20
is a 20% glass reinforced polycarbonate with higher temperature and tensile properties than the unfilled TECANAT™. Polycarbonate is an
amorphous thermoplastic. Good electrical properties combined with superior impact strength and moderate chemical resistance make this
product widely accepted for numerous applications. This product is offered in many popular rod and plate sizes.

• Superior impact strength • Outstanding mechanical strength and stiffness • Good electrical properties
• Excellent dimensional stability • Transparency • Good machinability

Typical applications include business equipment where gears, rollers, internal mechanical parts, connectors and relays are required. The
automotive industry uses polycarbonate materials for pumps, valves, light bezels and instrument panels. It also is applicable to many other
industries.
