Polycarbonate sheet is a tough and highly impact-resistant material. It is lightweight with exceptional clarity and light transmission properties. Since it is difficult to break, it is useful wherever safety, security, or impact-resistance is important.
Polycarbonate sheets will expand and contract with temperature changes but will not shrink with age. Some shrinkage occurs when it is heated to forming temperature, but post-forming stability is excellent.
Polycarbonate sheet is resistant to many common household materials, including Beer, Coffee, Detergents, Fish Oil, Fruit Syrup, Liquor, Milk, Mineral Water, Orange Juice, Liquor, Wine, Table Vinegar, Salad Oil, Salt Solution (10%), Tomato Juice, Vodka, Cocoa.
