Smithers Enhancing Polycarbonate Performance with GPC Testing

Smithers Enhancing Polycarbonate Performance with GPC Testing


Polycarbonate (PC) is a versatile thermoplastic with exceptional properties such as high impact resistance, electrical insulation, and optical clarity, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. From automotive headlamp lenses and eye protection to equipment housings and electrical components, PC is essential in industries where reliability and performance are critical. 

However, challenges such as processing issues, fatigue, wear, and chemical resistance limitations can impact the material's overall performance.

Why Does GCP Testing Matter for Polycarbonate?

Whether you are working with resin, moulded components, or suspect material batches, GPC testing helps you identify early signs of degradation, ensure consistent material quality, and prevent costly failures or recalls.
  • Detect degradation early to avoid product failure.
  • Ensure consistency across batches for reliable performance.
  • Prevent costly material issues before they escalate.
