IPolycarbonate (PC) iyi-polymer equkethe iqembu le-carbonate kuchungechunge lwamangqamuzana. Ngokuya ngesakhiwo seqembu le-ester, lingahlukaniswa nge-aliphatic, iphunga, i-aliphatic - enamakha nezinye izinhlobo. Izici eziphansi zemishini ye-aliphatic ne-aliphatic enamakha i-polycarbonate ikhawulela ukusetshenziswa kwazo kuma-plastiki wobunjiniyela. Kukhiqizwe kuphela okwezimboni kuphela i-polycarbonate enamakha. Ngenxa yobuningi besakhiwo se-polycarbonate, i-PC sekuyiplastiki ejwayelekile yobunjiniyela enezinga lokukhula okusheshayo phakathi kwamaplastikhi amahlanu wobunjiniyela.
I-PC ayimelani nokukhanya kwe-ultraviolet, i-alkali eqinile, nokuklwebheka. Iba phuzi ngokuchayeka isikhathi eside kwi-ultraviolet. Ngakho-ke, isidingo sezithasiselo eziguquliwe sibalulekile.
