Why is Polycarbonate resistant to Zinc Chloride?

Polycarbonate shows excellent resistance to Zinc Chloride due to its carbonate group structure, though it has limited chemical resistance compared to other engineering plastics.

⚠️ When NOT to use Polycarbonate

Avoid using Polycarbonate with alkalis, amines, ketones, esters, and many organic solvents. Prone to stress cracking.
