I am sure that every single person who is reading this note owns some "optical quality" polycarbonate. This style of polycarb is extruded in a clean room and the molten plastic is pushed through a filter.

Who can guess where this "optical quality" polycarbonate is used by everyone?


(15 years ago, I was a co-op engineer at GE Plastics. The Mt. Vernon, Indiana plant extruded 1,000,000 lbs. of the stuff PER DAY back then. I can still recall the sweet smell of Methylene Chloride.)
