Material: PC Polycarbonate

Extruded transparent polycarbonate sheet. Has superior impact strength at half the weight of glass. Twice the impact strength of PETG and more than 10 times the impact strength of PMMA. Outstanding clarity and more regularly replacing glass in exposed applications. In the event of a fire the polycarbonate sheet will melt and create a passage where heat and smoke can be let out of the building without contributing to the growth of the fire. Easily screen printed, can be easily formed into gentle curves and usable over a wide temperature range.
