    Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets.
    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.
    Gray—Sheets are useful in light-sensitive applications where a see-through material is required.

    Clear Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Bars.
    At only half the weight of glass, these polycarbonate bars are often used for windows, machine guards, instrument gauge covers, and signs. They’re semi-clear gray, so they’re useful in light-sensitive applications where see-through material is required. All are consistently flat, square, and parallel on each side. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.
