Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic group easy to mold, thermo-form, and work with. They are widely used in modern manufacturing. The name "polycarbonate" is because they are based on polymers which are presented on functional groups linked by carbonate groups in a long molecular chain.
These sight glasses are used primarily on equipments which work at low temperatures and in which security is seek before a fracture due to some fortuitous stroke
The parts can be supplied in different shapes: round, rectangular, oblong, with holes, bevel, etc.. And the range of thicknesses can go from ¼ "to 2"
The material has been approved for use by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
