Frequently Asked Questions

Get Answers To Common Questions About Solid Polycarbonate Sheets. For Additional Information, Contact Our Team.
  • What Makes Polycarbonate Stronger Than Glass?
    Polycarbonate's Molecular Structure Gives It Exceptional Impact Resistance. It Has A High Level Of Molecular Weight And Strong Intermolecular Forces That Allow It To Absorb And Dissipate Energy From Impacts Without Breaking. This Makes It 250 Times Stronger Than Glass And Virtually Unbreakable In Most Applications.
  • Can Solid Polycarbonate Sheets Be Used Outdoors?
    Yes, Absolutely! When Polycarbonate Sheets Have UV Protection (Co-Extruded UV Layer), They Are Highly Suitable For Outdoor Applications. The UV Protection Prevents Yellowing And Degradation From Sunlight. Without UV Protection, The Sheets May Yellow And Become Brittle Over Time. Always Use UV-Protected Sheets For Outdoor Applications.
  • How Does Polycarbonate Compare To Acrylic?
    While Both Are Clear Plastics, Polycarbonate Is Much Stronger (30x More Impact Resistant Than Acrylic) And More Heat-Resistant. Acrylic Has Slightly Better Optical Clarity And Scratch Resistance. Choose Polycarbonate When Impact Strength And Safety Are Priorities; Choose Acrylic When Maximum Clarity And Scratch Resistance Are More Important.
  • What Thickness Should I Choose?
    Thickness Selection Depends On Your Application: 2-3mm For Signs And Displays, 4-6mm For General Glazing And Partitions, 8-12mm For Machine Guards And High-Security Applications, 15mm+ For Bullet-Resistant And Heavy-Duty Security Applications. Contact Us For Application-Specific Recommendations.
