About Polycarbonate sheet

Polycarbonate Sheet is made of polycarbonate plastic by extrusion process. Its thickness ranges from 1mm to 200mm. The natural color is transparent, but it can be produced with custom colors, such as blue, green, white, red, grey, etc. The main features include excellent impact resistance, good optical properties, and extraordinary durability.

Polycarbonate sheet is virtually unbreakable. It is 20-30 times stronger than plexiglass sheets and 25 times stronger than tempered glass. The normal polycarbonate sheet offers flame retardance with V2/UL94, but it can be V0/UL94 with more flame retardants.

The disadvantage of polycarbonate sheets is that the surface is scratched easily, but with the surface coating technology, it is dramatically improved. Otherwise, there are many different grades of polycarbonate sheets for different applications, for example, ESD/anti-static, scratch-resistant, anti-fogging, UV-blocking, IR-blocking, Anti-glare, glass-filled, etc.

Polycarbonate sheets are a popular engineering plastic used frequently for machine guards, windshields, front plates of electric devices, riot shields, bullet-proof glass, face shields, some transparent parts, building materials, industrial parts, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions about Polycarbonate Sheet

Polycarbonate sheets are one of the most popular engineering plastic sheets. Therefore, it is widely used in many industries. UVTECO has a lot of projects in history that have used polycarbonate sheets. See the following samples:

  • Architecture: Building roofing material, safety glass for building windows;
  • Lighting industry: polycarbonate diffusers can be used for the cover of LED lights;
  • Security product: Riot shield, safety window, machine guard, etc;
  • Medical equipment: anti-fog polycarbonate sheet is used for safety goggles;
  • Front panels of some display screens;
  • Label and sign;
  • Display screen: Polycarbonate Light Guide Plate offers better Temperature Resistance, higher impact resistance, and similar light transmittance than other materials, such as acrylic/plexiglass and polystyrene (PS), therefore Polycarbonate Light Guide Plate is used for display screens of automobiles;

You can’t usually crack polycarbonate sheets because they are virtually unbreakable. However, polycarbonate sheets can be aged by ultraviolet light. If they are used outdoors for more than 15 years, they will be cracked easily. On the other hand, if there are some notches, they will be cracked with high impact resistance.

Polycarbonate sheets can be cut by using different tools, for example:

  • Polycarbonate sheet with a thickness of less than 1mm, you can use a knife to cut it, or you can cut it with a saw;
  • If you want to cut it to shape, you can use a CNC Router and CNC machining center to cut it;

Normally, polycarbonate sheets offer limited UV-protected function. But you can get polycarbonate sheets with a strong UV-protected function by adding the UV-blocking additive or the UV-blocking coating layer when manufacturing. UVTECO is a leading manufacturer of polycarbonate sheets. Send an Email to info@uvteco.com for more information.

Like glass, transparent polycarbonate sheets offer 90% light transmittance. However, colored polycarbonate and frosted polycarbonate sheets offer lower light transmittance.

You can consider UVTECO. You can find polycarbonate sheets in all forms from us because we have more than 25 years of experience in this field. In the meantime, we provide machining services. We can machine polycarbonate sheets very well because we know better material.
