Highly Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Rods
 |
Use these opaque polycarbonate rods in applications where impact could damage other plastic. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It stands up to higher temperatures than ABS, plus it is thermoformable.

Glass-Filled Polycarbonate Rods
 |
Stronger than standard polycarbonate rods, these glass-filled rods will better maintain their physical properties when thermoforming. Use them for structural applications. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Glass-Filled Polycarbonate Sheets
 |
The addition of glass fibers to this polycarbonate increases tensile strength for structural applications. It also gives these sheets increased thermal stability, so they maintain their physical properties when thermoforming. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.
