A lightweight alternative to glass, these polycarbonate rods and discs are often made into sight windows and display racks. Polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. Lengths up to 1/2” are cut from sheets for a clear, smooth face. Rods and discs that meet UL 972 are rated as burglar resistant.

Impact-Resistant Plastic Pellets

Absorbing impact without cracking or breaking, these plastic pellets are molded into parts that endure bumps, scrapes, and falls. Use them with injection molders, 3D printers, and other molding equipment.

Polycarbonate pellets handle higher temperatures than any of these other materials, but they’re more difficult to thermoform. Clear in color and a lightweight alternative to glass, they’re often used to make windows, machine guards, and instrument covers.
