    Clear Ultra-Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Ultra-Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets.
    At only half the weight of glass, these polycarbonate sheets are often used for windows, machine guards, instrument gauge covers, and signs. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.
    If you don't see the size you're looking for, check out our Made-to-Order Polycarbonate Sheets.
    Bronze and Gray—Sheets are useful in light-sensitive applications where a see-through material is required.
    UL 972—Sheets rated UL 972 are burglar resistant.

    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 UV-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear UV-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets.
    Enhanced UV resistance makes these polycarbonate sheets better than standard polycarbonate for outdoor use. Polycarbonate is half the weight of glass and is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. This material has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.

    When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.
    At only half the weight of glass, these polycarbonate sheets are often used for windows, machine guards, instrument gauge covers, and signs. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.
