Ideal for DIY projects, machine guards, or secondary glazing. Thermoformable and easy to work with. Imported from USA, all duties included. ## Highlights - Superior Impact Resistance — Polycarbonate is significantly more impact-resistant than acrylic or glass, making it ideal for protective barriers, machine guards, and applications where breakage is a concern. It withstands harsh conditions without shattering. - Excellent Clarity & Light Transmission — Offers high optical clarity with 84-87% light transmission, suitable for glazing, display cases, or any project requiring a clear view. The sheet is protected by film on both sides. - Thermoformable & Easy to Fabricate — Can be easily cut, sawn, drilled, and cold-formed without cracking, allowing for complex shapes and rapid prototyping. Ideal for custom fabrication and DIY projects. - Durable in Extreme Temperatures — Maintains its properties across a wide temperature range, suitable for applications exposed to heat or cold. Good fire behavior characteristics, not contributing significantly to fire spread. ## Key features - Clear protetive film on **BOTH** sides of sheet. One side has printing. The other side is clear / frosted and hard to see. - Lexan is one of the manufactures of the material type Ploycarbonate - High/Low Temperature Resistance - Thermoformable - Brand Names For Polycabonate: Lexan, Perspex, Makrolon, Tuffak, Spartech ## Why choose this product **Unmatched Durability for Indian Projects** — This USA-sourced polycarbonate sheet offers superior impact resistance and temperature tolerance compared to many local plastic alternatives. Its ability to withstand harsh conditions makes it perfect for applications in India's varied climate, from protective barriers to custom fabrication. Easily cut and thermoformed, it's ideal for DIY enthusiasts and industrial users alike, ensuring a long-lasting, reliable material for your projects. **Ideal for Prototyping & Protection** — This sheet is excellent for creating machine guards, secondary glazing, or prototypes where clarity and toughness are paramount. It can be cold-formed and machined without risk of cracking. Skip if you require extreme UV resistance for prolonged outdoor exposure without coatings, or if you need a material that is scratch-resistant like glass without a specific coating. ## How to use 1. Measure your desired dimensions on the protective film. Use standard workshop tools like a fine-tooth saw or scoring knife to cut the sheet cleanly without cracking. Ensure the sheet is securely supported. — Measure and Cut 2. Mark hole locations and use a drill bit suitable for plastics. Drill slowly to avoid overheating. For tight bends, score the sheet deeply on the bend line and carefully form the angle. — Drill Holes (If Needed) 3. Thermoform the sheet if complex shapes are needed, or cold-form for simple bends. Install the cut or formed piece using appropriate fasteners or adhesives for your application, ensuring it is securely fixed. — Fabricate and Install ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Primary Polymer | Polycarbonate | | Light Transmission | 84-87% | | Temperature Resistance | High/Low | | Fire Behavior | Good, does not significantly contribute to fire spread or toxic gases | | Fabrication | Can be cut, sawn, drilled, milled, and cold-formed without cracking | | Thermoforming | Yes, easily formed into complex parts | | Decoration | Can be painted or screen printed | | Ideal Uses | Secondary glazing, machine guards, prototyping, displays, signage, vandal-proof furniture | | Cost per unit | 1 sheet at ₹2,328 — ₹2,328 per sheet | | Shelf life after opening | N/A (material) | | Contraindications | May scratch without coating; prolonged outdoor UV exposure may degrade without UV-stabilized grade | | Allergens / common irritants | None | | Brand | Plastics 2000 | | Material | Polycarbonate | | Color | Clear | | Form | Sheet | | Shape | Flat | | Thickness | 0.79 mm (1/32") | | Nominal Size | 12" x 12" (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) | | Weight | 0.11 kg (0.2 lb) | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | | Protective Film | Yes, on both sides (one printed, one clear/frosted) | ## Attributes - **Item form:** Sheet ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this polycarbonate sheet safe for use in India? Yes, this USA-sourced polycarbonate sheet is safe for use in India. It offers excellent impact resistance and temperature tolerance suitable for various applications. All customs duties and GST are included in the price, and it ships via ExpressBox within 13-16 days. ### What is the difference between acrylic and polycarbonate sheets? 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. Check the listing for the exact polymer, thickness in mm, and whether the sheet is UV-stabilised for your application. ### Can this polycarbonate sheet be cut or drilled at home? Yes, this polycarbonate sheet can be easily cut, sawn, drilled, and milled using standard workshop equipment without the risk of cracking. Its flexibility allows for cold-forming, making it suitable for DIY projects and custom fabrication. ### How does this polycarbonate sheet compare to local Indian plastic sheets? This USA-sourced polycarbonate sheet offers superior impact resistance and temperature tolerance, often exceeding that of standard local plastic sheets. It's ideal for demanding applications where durability is key. Local alternatives may vary significantly in quality and specific properties. ### What is the light transmission of this polycarbonate sheet? This transparent polycarbonate sheet offers excellent light transmission, typically between 84% and 87%, depending on the thickness. It provides a clear view while offering robust protection. ### How is this polycarbonate sheet packaged for shipping to India? The sheet comes with protective film on both sides to prevent scratches during transit. While specific packaging details vary, it is imported per order and shipped via ExpressBox to ensure it reaches you securely within 13-16 days. ## Compliance This product is a raw industrial material.
