    Additional Specifications

    With a clear coating that provides protection from abrasion, UV light, and harsh cleaners, these polycarbonate sheets are often used to create transit shelters and equipment shields. Comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon, polycarbonate is half the weight of glass. This material has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.
