4mm Polycarbonate Sheet

4mm Polycarbonate Sheet – Tough, clear and stiff

Polycarbonate is a transparent, strong, stiff thermoplastic material that features really good impact resistance. It isn't quite the same as acrylic sheeting. If you're not certain which you need, give us a call or check out the differences between the two here.

Product description

Polycarbonate sheeting is tough and clear, which means it has a broad range of very different applications. It is an excellent alternative to glass. It's easy to machine and offers great dimensional stability. It can be thermoformed after drying and you can paint it with ease. You can glue pieces of it together with a good solvent glue. The hard transparent coat that protects it delivers enhanced weatherability, good chemical resistance, and excellent resistance to abrasion, which is why it's often used in vulnerable high traffic areas like bus shelters, police stations, doctors surgeries and detention centres.
