    Highly Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Highly Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets.
    Comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon, these opaque polycarbonate sheets are often made into displays and signs for areas where impact resistance is required. Similar to ABS, polycarbonate is easy to form, yet it stands up to higher temperatures.
    UL 972—Sheets rated UL 972 are burglar resistant.

    Clear Machinable Cast Acrylic Round Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Machinable Cast Acrylic Round Tubes.
    Fabricate containers, tanks, and lenses for light fixtures with these scratch- and UV-resistant cast acrylic tubes. Cast acrylic, which is comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® acrylic, is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. This material stands up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate and maintains clarity over time.

    PTFE Sintered Filter Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sintered Filters. PTFE Sintered Filter Film .
    Shield vents on electronic and automotive equipment, such as cell phone microphones, from water, dirt, and debris without blocking them entirely. This film has tiny holes to let air, gas, and vapors pass through. Because it’s made of PTFE, it wicks away water. It also won’t react with most chemicals, though it can break down from alkali metal and high-temperature fluorinated agents. IP rated, this film stands up to dust, weather, washdowns, and even brief submersion.
