Polycarbonate Sheets

Overview
01

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.

Strength
250× Stronger
250 times the impact resistance of glass. Virtually unbreakable under normal conditions. Used in ballistic and security glazing applications.
Protection
Shatter-Proof
Will not shatter on impact — it flexes and absorbs energy. Critical for machine guards, protective barriers, and safety applications.
Versatility
UV-Rated
Available with UV-resistant coatings for outdoor durability. Suitable for construction, retail, automotive, and architectural projects.

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

Machine Guards
Safety shields for industrial machinery, CNC equipment, and manufacturing lines.
Protective Barriers
Security glazing, bank partitions, riot shields, and vandal-resistant enclosures.
Construction
Skylights, greenhouse panels, roofing, and architectural glazing for commercial buildings.
Automotive & UTV
Custom windshields, headlight covers, and protective vehicle components.

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.
