Surface Finishing Options for Polycarbonate Parts
Surface finishing options for Polycarbonate parts include:
Bead Blasting
Polycarbonate plastics parts surface is left with a smooth, matte appearance, with no thickness removal specified.
As Machined
This finish retains visible tool marks and is suitable for both polycarbonate plastics. There is no specific thickness removed in this finish.
Vapor Polishing
Vapor polishing smooths polycarbonate by using a solvent to melt the surface, removing tool marks and enhancing clarity for optically clear finishes.
Scratch-Resistant Coating
Scratch-resistant coatings improve polycarbonate’s durability, enhancing its scratch resistance while preserving optical clarity.
If you have special needs and want to customize other post-processing options, please contact BOYI and indicate your specific requirements.

What is Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate (PC) is an amorphous thermoplastic known for its high fracture toughness, impact resistance, and optical clarity. It offers better heat resistance and UV stability than acrylic, making it ideal for applications requiring durability and transparency. While CNC machining polycarbonate doesn’t always result in optically clear parts, additional finishing can enhance clarity. PC is also heat-resistant, flame-retardant, and widely recycled.
