Polycarbonate (Lexan) Plastic Sheet Info
At only half the weight of glass, these polycarbonate sheets are often used for windows, machine guards, instrument gauge covers, and signs. It has greater impact strength than Plexiglas; Acrylic and can be used in similar applications.
Advantages
- Much stonger than glass and even acrylic!
- Resists extreme weather
- Lightweight (half the weight of glass)
- High impact strength makes it practically unbreakable
- Easy to cut and shape using standard woodworking toolstio
Applications
- Machine guards
- Instrument gauge covers
- Windows
- Skylights
- Glass replacement
