Overview
Polycarbonate diffused material compounds are specialized concentrates
designed to enhance light diffusion and uniformity in polycarbonate
applications. They enable even light distribution,
reduce glare, and maintain mechanical integrity, making them ideal for lighting
panels, signage, automotive lighting, and electronic displays. These
masterbatches help create consistent optical performance while preserving
durability and processability.
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Active
Ingredients: Diffusing agents, opacifiers, or specialized polymers for
light scattering.
- Carrier
Resin: Compatible with polycarbonate (PC) and PC blends.
- Appearance:
Free-flowing granules, typically white or off-white.
- Light
Diffusion: Provides uniform scattering, reducing hot spots and glare.
- Thermal
Stability: Suitable for processing temperatures up to 300–320 °C
typical for polycarbonate extrusion and molding.
