Flame Retardant Polycarbonate Market Defination
The flame retardant polycarbonate market is growing due to its unique properties, which have led to its widespread use in building and construction, security, and ballistic applications. Polycarbonate is heat resistant (as the name suggests) with high impact strength, formability, and optical clarity. The material is also lightweight and can withstand direct impacts without breaking. Polycarbonate also has applications in growing industries such as aerospace and high-speed rail.
Despite several applications of flame retardant polycarbonate, the material displays limited resistance to high temperatures, especially if additives don’t meet safety standards. The high cost of production and limited use cases are restricting growth in the market. While there are a few drawbacks of such polycarbonates, they have ever-growing applications including for electrical components, DIY, and infrastructure components such as light fixtures and roofing.
