Polycarbonate Flow Sight Glasses

Polycarbonate flow sight glasses are used instead of standard polycarbonate sight glasses when greater impact resistance and shatterproof properties are required. They are also preferred for applications where greater flexibility is needed.

Polycarbonate Sight Glass

Polycarbonate is a group of thermoplastics that are easy to work with, mold, and thermoform, widely used in modern manufacturing. The name “polycarbonate” originates from the polymers having functional groups linked by carbonate groups in a long molecular chain. Since this material is FDA-approved (USA Food and Drug Administration), it is commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. To ensure proper sealing and facilitate assembly, all cuts are precision-squared and polished.

Polycarbonate flow sight glasses are used instead of standard polycarbonate sight glasses when greater impact resistance and shatterproof properties are required. They are also preferred for applications where greater flexibility is needed.
