Polycarbonate Solid Sheets Balancing Strength
and Safety
2

• What Is Polycarbonate?

• Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic that comes in a
  transparent sheet. It offers unique durability
  and is resistant to water and impact damage due
  to its tough quality and minimal moisture
  absorbance.
• Polycarbonate sheets are made with thermoplastic
  polymers that contain plastic and are combined
  with carbonate groups to give rise to a strong,
  impact-resistant sheet.
• Key Characteristics
• Unparalleled impact resistance
• Excellent optical clarity
• Lightweight yet incredibly durable
• Superior weatherability and UV resistance
• High thermal stability

Key Properties of Polycarbonate

• High Impact Resistance Withstands extreme force
  and impact, making it ideal for safety
  applications.
• Excellent Transparency Offers crystal-clear
  visibility, comparable to glass, without the
  fragility.
• Lightweight Nature Reduces weight and
  installation costs, making it easy to handle and
  transport.
• UV Resistance Protects against the damaging
  effects of sunlight, ensuring long-lasting
  performance.
• Flame Retardancy Self-extinguishing properties
  minimize fire hazards, enhancing safety.
