About Polycarbonate - Tough. Resilient. Reliable.
Polycarbonate is a lightweight, high-performance thermoplastic that stands out for its exceptional strength, and versatility. Renowned for its remarkable impact resistance, polycarbonate is the material of choice for applications that demand dependability. Polycarbonate is also eco-friendly, easily recyclable, and will maintain any coloring over time. Most commonly seen as a substitute for glass due to its high optical transmittance in combination with the other properties listed above.
Polycarbonate vs. Glass
Impact Resistance:
Polycarbonate is nearly unbreakable, and is up to 250 times more impact-resistant than glass. Making it the ideal solution for applications with security or safety concerns. Such as machine guards or protective shields. It’s also very popular in environments where vandalism is a potential occurrence.

High Optical Clarity:
Polycarbonate boasts exceptional light transmission of up to 90%. This makes it an ideal alternative to glass in applications where both light transmittance and durability are essential. Several examples are greenhouses and automotive parts, such as sunroofs and headlight housings.
