Polycarbonate Sheets for Impact-Resistant Use

Polycarbonate sheet is as clear as glass and 250 times stronger. It's also 30 times stronger than acrylic sheet - offering a margin of safety that no other clear glazing material can beat. With its inherent design flexibility, polycarbonate can be cut or cold-formed on site during installation without the pre-forming and fabrication associated with glass or acrylic. It is lightweight and requires less structural support compared to all-glass systems, saving additional time and labor costs.

Think of all the places that you wish you could have put glass or plexiglass in your designs, but could not due to the environment, building location, or material limitations. Now think of the demanding applications where glass and acrylic have been tried and failed; schools, psychiatric facilities, subways, bus shelters — the list goes on. Think of applications where other plastics won’t rise to the challenge. Whether it's a clear or colored polycarbonate sheet you're looking for, try TUFFAK sheets and make your designs a reality.

Qualities of Polycarbonate Sheet

Although polycarbonate sheeting is often more costly, it will save you in the long run due to its higher level of impact resistance. By using acrylic sheet in an application that is more suited for polycarbonate, there is a likely chance you will have to replace it or fix it sooner than if you used polycarbonate plastic. There are additional cost savings in shipping and handling, as well as structural support.

Polycarbonate is less rigid than acrylic sheeting and can be bought in a variety of flexible grades, colors and tints. It can be cold formed or bent without heating. If heat is needed or you are using it in a hot location, polycarbonate sheet can withstand temperatures up to 240 degrees Fahrenheit and has a low level of flammability. White polycarbonate sheet, color and tinted polycarbonate can provide style to any application without compromising on strength.

There are drawbacks to using polycarbonate such as its initial cost. Additionally, polycarbonate is easier to scratch and has a low level of resistance to cleaners.
