Polycarbonate sheet combines high impact and temperature resistance with optical clarity and can be utilized for secondary glazing behind existing glazing for economical protection against breakage or intrusion. Polycarbonate sheet can be cut, sawn, drilled and milled by using standard workshop equipment without the risk of cracking and breakage and is therefore an excellent candidate for fabricating a wide range of indoor applications such as machine guards etc. Polycarbonate sheet can be easily thermoformed into complex parts while retaining its excellent properties necessary for demanding applications such as vandal proof street furniture. Polycarbonate sheet may be decorated using a wide variety of modern techniques such as painting and screen printing.
Unlike most thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo large plastic deformations without cracking or breaking. As a result, it can be processed and formed at room temperature using sheet metal techniques, such as forming bends on a brake. Even for sharp angle bends with a tight radius, no heating is generally necessary. This makes it valuable in prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are needed, which cannot be made from sheet metal
Light transmission
Transparent Polycarbonate sheet have excellent light transmission, dependent of thickness between 84 - 87%.
Fire performance
Polycarbonate sheet has good fire behavior characteristics. Lexan sheet does not contribute significantly to the spread of fire or to the generation of toxic gases. For details please contact your local sales office.

There is nothing wrong with the material and if you need this size it's perfectly fine.For my case I needed a router base for timber framing. This one is too small. I need larger plate.

Two panels of this made a perfect window in my front door that is probably bullet proof, and definitely break in resistant.

Can be cut with a saw, drilled and filed, unlike other clear plastics

I use this to make a jig for my router for working with small parts. It worked perfectly. Main things I needed was for it to be clear and rigid. I cut it to size and mounted a couple of handles. If the 1/4 thickness gave me the rigidity I needed.

Bought this to ensure my recent purchases would be safe from airsoft bbs. Went with a thicker 1/4, but still very clear. Just make sure to keep the protected flim on until fully done with shaping the material. This does heat up nice too for bending if necessary. This will scratch up easily as it is just a hard plastic.For cutting this material was tricky for my small part applications, but I did make it work. Using a drill press, metal shears, and a stationary sander. I will say I did get my pieces pretty hot and it held up very well with minor need for cutting melted edges with a razor.I will probably look at using a 1/8" in the future.This is strong and clear, but hard to work with at 1/4 and will scratch.

Nice and clear. Came with a protective peel off coating on both sides.I use these to place on my wall behind a glass screen computer monitor. It makes a reflection of a far view on the screen, like a mirror but also with a picture on the wall under it. This keeps the eyes' accommodation, un-accommodation, convergence, divergence active so you are not 'stuck' for hours looking at one flat surface on the screen. I also look to the far out a window often for 100% real scenery.It's too thick and heavy for my wall but will use it for other purposes. Is strong.Will rebuy, but larger and thinner.
