• Lightweight: Polycarbonate film material is lighter than glass or thicker sheet materials making it easier to handle and install.
• Excellent Optical Clarity: Our polycarbonate films maintain exceptional optical clarity suitable for various applications requiring transparency.
• Easy Customisation: Polycarbonate film material can be easily cut or cold-formed on site without cracking or breaking.

Applications

Thanks to their flexibility, durability, optical clarity; polycarbonate films are suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries:

• Graphic Overlays & Labels: The high-quality surface finish makes them perfect for creating graphic overlays on electronic devices or labels on consumer products.
• Membrane Switches & Control Panels: Their flexibility allows them to be used as a substrate for membrane switches and control panels in various industries.
• Window & Door Glazing: Polycarbonate film material can be used as a replacement for glass in windows and doors, providing increased impact resistance and UV protection in a thinner form factor.
• Optical Displays & Lenses: The excellent optical clarity of polycarbonate films makes them suitable for use in optical displays, lenses, or light diffusing applications.
• Packaging: Their lightweight nature and durability make them an ideal choice for packaging materials.
  

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.
