Polycarboante
Polycarbonate sheet is the toughest transparent sheet available. Virtually unbreakable and 300 times stronger than single-strength glass. It is used in glazing, vacuum forming and fabrication. Sheets can be thermoformed, cold formed and brake formed to shape into one-piece configurations which is important because they help retain the original tough integrity of the material.
Available in the following grades
- High impact general purpose
- Abrasion resistant, coated
- UV resistant
- Sign grade
