Polycarbonate (Lexan)

Polycarbonate is a high‑performance thermoplastic material known for its exceptional impact resistance, toughness, and versatility. It is commonly used where strength, safety, and durability are critical, while still offering good optical clarity. Unlike Perspex (Acrylic), Polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable under normal conditions, making it the preferred choice for safety glazing, machine guarding, and high‑impact environments. It can be cold‑bent, thermoformed, machined, and fastened, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
