Ideal for high-traffic areas or protective barriers where durability is paramount. - Easy Fabrication & Thermoforming — Cut, drill, and saw with standard tools without chipping. Thermoformable for complex shapes, offering design flexibility for custom projects and enclosures. - High Optical Clarity — Offers 84-87% light transmission, providing clear visibility comparable to glass or acrylic, perfect for display panels, glazing, and sneeze guards. - Protective Film Included — Both sides feature protective film to prevent scratches during handling and installation. Simply peel off before use for a pristine, clear surface. ## Key features - PROTECTIVE FILM ON BOTH SIDES FOR SAFE HANDLING: Each clear polycarbonate sheet includes protective film on both sides to prevent scratches during shipping and fabrication. One side features printed labeling, while the opposite side is clear or lightly frosted and may be less visible. Be sure to remove the film before use to reveal a crystal-clear surface comparable to clear acrylic sheet or plexiglass sheet applications. - LEXAN POLYCARBONATE – HIGH IMPACT & TEMPERATURE RESISTANT: Made from premium polycarbonate, commonly known as Lexan sheet, this material delivers exceptional impact strength and high/low temperature resistance. Stronger than many acrylic sheets or plexiglass panels, it withstands demanding environments while maintaining optical clarity. Ideal for projects requiring a durable alternative to traditional acrylic sheet or glass panel materials. - EASY TO CUT, DRILL & FABRICATE WITHOUT CRACKING: This clear polycarbonate sheet can be cut, sawn, drilled, or milled with standard workshop tools without the cracking or chipping often associated with acrylic glass or acrylic board materials. Designed for strength and flexibility, this Lexan polycarbonate sheet tolerates bending and forming at room temperature. Ideal for fabrication projects, machine guards, window inserts, and protective counter installations. - THERMOFORMABLE WITH EXCELLENT LIGHT TRANSMISSION: Designed for versatility, these clear polycarbonate sheets offer outstanding thermoforming capability while maintaining 84–87% light transmission, depending on thickness. It delivers the clarity of clear acrylic sheets with enhanced durability. Suitable for sneeze guard for counter setups, machine guards, protective panels, signage, and indoor glazing applications. - STRONG FIRE PERFORMANCE & TRUSTED BRAND MATERIALS: Polycarbonate sheets offer reliable fire performance characteristics and do not significantly contribute to flame spread under typical conditions. Manufactured from materials associated with brands such as Lexan, Makrolon, and Perspex sheet, this clear polycarbonate sheet is a dependable solution for safety glazing, indoor protective panels, and durable barrier applications. ## Why choose this product - Unmatched Durability & Clarity for Indian Projects — This Plastics 2000 Lexan Polycarbonate Sheet offers a significant upgrade for any project requiring robust protection and clear visibility. Unlike many local acrylic sheets or standard plexiglass, its high-impact polycarbonate composition resists cracking and shattering under stress, making it ideal for demanding Indian environments. Whether you need a durable machine guard, a secure window insert, or a clear sneeze guard for commercial spaces, this sheet provides superior strength and longevity. Its excellent optical clarity ensures bright, unobstructed views, while its thermoformable nature allows for custom designs. Imported directly, it represents a premium choice for quality fabrication. - Ideal for Fabrication & Protection, Skip if Fragility is Acceptable — This sheet is perfect for applications demanding high impact resistance, temperature tolerance, and clear visibility, such as industrial guards, safety glazing, or DIY enclosures. It's also excellent for prototyping and custom fabrication due to its ease of cutting and forming. However, if your project only requires basic clarity and minimal impact resistance, and cost is the primary concern, a standard acrylic sheet or local plastic panel might suffice. This polycarbonate is overkill for purely decorative, non-structural uses where fragility is not a risk. ## How to use 1. Ensure a clean, flat surface for cutting and fabrication. Gather necessary tools like a fine-tooth saw, drill bits suitable for plastic, and safety glasses. Have a soft cloth ready for cleaning. — Prepare Your Workspace 2. Carefully measure and mark your desired dimensions on the protective film. Use a fine-tooth saw or a scoring knife for precise cuts. Avoid excessive force to prevent cracking or chipping. — Measure and Cut 3. Drill holes as needed, using appropriate drill bits for plastic. If thermoforming, follow recommended heating guidelines for polycarbonate to achieve desired shapes without compromising material integrity. — Drill and Fabricate 4. Once fabrication is complete, carefully peel off the protective film from both sides. Clean the sheet with a soft, damp cloth and a mild plastic cleaner for a crystal-clear finish. — Final Cleaning ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Primary Polymer | Polycarbonate (Lexan) | | UV Resistance | Not specified (check product variant for UV-treated options) | | Fire Performance | Reliable fire performance characteristics, does not significantly contribute to flame spread | | Recommended Use | Protective barriers, machine guards, window inserts, display panels, fabrication, glazing, sneeze guards | | Fabrication Methods | Cutting, drilling, sawing, milling, thermoforming | | Temperature Range | Wide temperature tolerance (specific range not provided) | | Cost per use | 1 sheet at 1 sheet/project = 1 project: ₹2,492 per project | | Shelf life after opening | Indefinite (material stability) | | Contraindications | Not recommended for applications requiring extreme flexibility or where extreme chemical resistance is needed without specific grade verification. | | Allergens / common irritants | None typically associated with polycarbonate polymer | | Brand | Plastics 2000 | | Material | Lexan Polycarbonate | | Color | Clear | | Item Form | Sheet | | Size | 30.48cm x 30.48cm (12" x 12") | | Thickness | 4.5mm (0.177" / 3/16") | | Light Transmission | 84-87% | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Attributes - **Item form:** Sheet ## Frequently asked questions ### How to buy an original Plastics 2000 Lexan Polycarbonate Sheet in India?

Acrylic (PMMA) sheets offer high optical clarity and are easy to cut and polish, making them popular for displays, glazing, and signage. Polycarbonate sheets are far more impact-resistant and handle higher temperatures, so they suit machine guards, safety panels, and outdoor enclosures. This Plastics 2000 Lexan sheet is polycarbonate, offering superior durability. ### Can this polycarbonate sheet be cut, drilled, or thermoformed at home? Yes, this Plastics 2000 Lexan polycarbonate sheet can be cut, drilled, sawn, and milled with standard workshop tools without cracking. It is also thermoformable, allowing you to shape it into complex designs while maintaining structural integrity and clarity for your projects. ### What are the dimensions and thickness of this polycarbonate sheet in metric units? This sheet measures 30.48cm x 30.48cm (12" x 12") and has a thickness of 4.5mm (0.177" or 3/16"). The precise thickness ensures suitability for various fabrication and glazing applications. ### Is this polycarbonate sheet suitable for outdoor use in India? While polycarbonate offers good temperature resistance, this specific sheet's UV resistance is not explicitly stated. For prolonged outdoor use in India's harsh sun, consider variants specifically labelled as UV-stabilised or weather-grade to prevent degradation over time. ### How does the price of this imported polycarbonate sheet compare to local alternatives in India? This imported sheet offers premium durability and clarity. While local acrylic or basic plastic sheets might have a lower upfront cost, this polycarbonate's longevity and impact resistance can provide better value for demanding applications.
