Polycarbonate Rolls


Polycarbonate Film Roll

Our industry-standard RowTec polycarbonate rolls offer a high-abrasion, impact and chemically resistant coated film with superior performance in applications that require optical, thermal, mechanical and electrical characteristics. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, our polycarbonate film meets or exceeds the most demanding requirements for thickness, gloss level and surface texture control. These film rolls are extruded from the finest quality resin and for the highest quality in graphic grade films.

Our polycarbonate films come in the following textures in rolls of .010”x45.5”x25 feet:

  • Clear (Transparent) Polycarbonate
