Clear Polycarbonate Sheet

 Clear Polycarbonate Sheets

Clear polycarbonate sheet is substitute for glass for many applications, because of it’s strength and impact resistance. Clear polycarbonate sheeting as one kind of perspex sheeting, it’s about 250 times stronger than glass, and 30 times stronger than Acrylic sheet.

Both as transparent sheets, if your application requires high UV resistance and long-term durability in challenging weather conditions, polycarbonate sheets are typically the better choice. They are better suited for outdoor and high-UV-exposure applications. Acrylic Perspex sheets are better suited for indoor or outdoor applications with less demanding weather exposure, where UV resistance is not a primary concern. Cost of polycarbonate sheet will be slightly higher than Acrylic sheet.

Why Choose Polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate, also known as plexiglass or perspex offers a range of advantages over traditional materials such as glass, acrylic and other plastics. Its exceptional strength, being 200 times stronger than glass, gives it an unparalleled strength to weight ratio that makes it highly resistant to breakage. This means that your project can endure the harshest conditions without the worry of damage. Moreover it comes with built in UV protection to shield against ultraviolet rays that may cause discoloration or degradation over time.

Not only is polycarbonate incredibly strong but it is also lightweight compared to glass. These transparent plastic sheets are easy to handle and install without compromising on durability or strength. With its clarity and light transmission properties it is perfect for projects that require transparency while maintaining robust characteristics suitable for heavy duty applications.

Polycarbonate Versus other Materials

Our clear polycarbonate sheets surpass many alternatives, like acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polystyrene (PS) polyphenylene oxide (PPO) acrylics polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyamides (nylons).

Furthermore our polycarbonate sheets effectively withstand temperature changes without shrinking over time. This makes them particularly well suited for applications where temperature fluctuations are a concern.

The flexibility of our sheeting allows us to shape it into curves that would be difficult to achieve with laminated glass or acrylic materials.
