Unbreakable Clarity: See the World Through Polycarbonate!
Polycarbonate is renowned for its robust mechanical properties, often employed in critical applications where safety and longevity are paramount. Its unique chemical structure provides an exceptional balance of rigidity and toughness, allowing it to withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, vandalism, and intense temperature fluctuations, without cracking or shattering. Available in various thicknesses, clear polycarbonate sheets maintain their pristine clarity over time, making them an ideal choice for projects requiring a long-term, virtually indestructible transparent material.
- Extremely High Impact Strength: Up to 250 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic, making it virtually unbreakable.
- Lightweight: Weighs less than half the weight of glass, easing handling and installation.
- Excellent Light Transmission: Offers high clarity, comparable to glass, allowing maximum light passage.
- Superior Fire Rating: UK Class 1 Fire Rating making it the material of choice in many public buildings, airports, schools and where safety and security are required.
- Good Thermal and Electrical Insulation: Provides insulation properties for various applications.
- Easy to Fabricate: Can be cut, drilled, bent (cold-formed depending on thickness).
- Please note that polycarbonate sheets have an industry standard thickness tolerance of +/-5%.
- Supplied with a protective film on both sides to ensure a flawless, scratch-free surface upon arrival.
Colours can vary on different screens, therefore samples are available for colour confirmation.
Clear polycarbonate sheets are the high-performance alternative to traditional glass and acrylic, offering unparalleled strength, exceptional optical clarity, and superior impact resistance. This versatile thermoplastic provides a durable and safe solution for a wide range of glazing, protective, and fabrication needs where both visibility and resilience are critical. Common uses and applications include:
Protective Glazing: Safety windows, security barriers, and machine guards.
Construction: Skylights, roofing panels, and barrel vault roof systems.
Automotive/Transportation: Headlight lenses, safety shields, and internal vehicle glazing.
DIY & Home Projects: Cold frames, greenhouse panels, and patio enclosures.
Retail & Display: Vending machine windows, sneeze guards, and transparent display cases.
Electronics: Optical discs (CDs/DVDs), and transparent housing for electrical components.
Polycarbonate can sometimes be referred to as Lexan® or Palsun®. These are simply brand names of polycarbonate, much like Hoover® is with regards to vacuum cleaners.
