Polycarbonate Index
Polycarbonate sheet offers the highest impact strength of any transparent glazing product - 30 times that of standard acrylic sheet and over 250 times the impact strength of glass in equal sheet thickness .
The main advantages of using polycarbonate sheet, polycarbonate rod or polycarbonate tube are: - Excellent high impact strength
- Excellent clarity (unless stated)
- UV protection (where stated)
- Excellent fire rating
- Superior thermal properties (when compared to glass)
- Supplied with manufacturers limited warranty (Lexan sheet only)
Our standard grade of polycarbonate sheet for general purpose applications is Lexan Exell D polycarbonate sheet.

| | Lexan Margard MR5E - Polycarbonate Sheet | Lexan Margard MR5E sheet is a premium grade, hardcoated, high optical quality, Lexan polycarbonate sheet for building and vehicle safety & security glazing. Margard hardcoat gives improved abrasion and chemical resistance and maintains the UV protection of standard Lexan Exell D polycarbonate sheet. This makes Lexan Margard ideal for use in applications where frequent contact and cleaning may occur. Also offers resistance to graffitti.
Available colours:
Clear
Available to buy in:
Sheet: 3mm to 12mm thick |

| | Polycarbonate Mirror Sheet | Polycarbonate mirror sheet is intended for areas at high risk from impact such as horse stable mirrors, prison & hospital mirrors and similar applications where the improved impact strength over standard acrylic mirror is crucial.
Available Colours:
Silver
Available to buy in:
Sheet: 3mm and 6mm thick |
|
| | Lexan F2000 - Polycarbonate Sheet | Lexan F2000 is a flame-retardant, transparent, polycarbonate sheet that offers impact resistance, optical quality, formability, stiffness and strength. Often used in electrical and electronic, transportation & building and construction industries.
Available colours:
Clear
Available to buy in:
Sheet: Limited range of thicknesses |

| | Polycarbonate Tube | Clear polycarbonate tube maintains the clarity and impact strength of polycarbonate sheet in a tube form.
Available colours:
Clear
Available to buy in:
Tube: various OD x ID - including large diameter |
|
| | Engineering Grade Polycarbonate Rod & Sheet - PC1000 | PC 1000 engineering grade polycarbonate rod & sheet is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic, offering very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. These properties, in addition to good electrical insulating and dielectric properties, make PC1000 polycarbonate an excellent choice for electrical/electronic applications. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications such as sight glasses and windows.
Note This material is 'non-optical' industrial quality, and is used for its technical properties rather than aesthetic appearance.
Available colours:
Clear/Translucent
Available to buy in:
Sheet: 15mm to 50mm thick Rod: 5mm to 100mm diameter |
