Polycarbonate resins are widely employed in electrical/electronic equipment as well as a variety of automotive applications. Polycarbonate resins are a material of choice for applications that require impact resistance due to their unique mix of characteristics. Its durability, along with transparency and high-temperature resistance, makes it ideal for demanding transparent applications where safety is paramount. As a result, polycarbonate resins are progressively replacing glass in a variety of applications, including medical equipment, electronics, roofing, and automobiles.
The increasing use of polycarbonate variations in mobile phones and tablets will be a crucial factor in industry growth. The growing public awareness of carcinogenic residues, as well as the difficulty of obtaining permits and making large initial expenditures, may stymie the industry's expansion. The growing use of polycarbonate resins over conventional fibers and glass in automotive, medical equipment, electronics, and roofing, on the other hand, will provide additional impetus to the product demand surge.
