250× stronger than glass.
Virtually unbreakable.
Polycarbonate is the material you choose when impact resistance is non-negotiable. Used in bullet-resistant glazing, machine guards, and protective enclosures — it absorbs extreme force without shattering.
Available Options
We stock clear and tinted polycarbonate sheets in thicknesses from 1/16" to 1/2". Standard sheet sizes available for same-day cut-to-size service. Specialty options including anti-fog, abrasion-resistant, and bullet-resistant grades can be ordered.
Common Applications
Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic
Polycarbonate delivers superior impact resistance (250× vs. 17× glass strength) — choose it when safety and durability are the priority. Acrylic offers better optical clarity (92% light transmission) and UV resistance — choose it when appearance matters most. We stock both materials and can advise on the best fit for your project.
