Meets ASTM D 3935.

Polycarbonate is a transparent, strong, and stiff thermoplastic material with outstanding impact resistance. Toughness and optical clarity make polycarbonate ideal for a wide variety of applications including machine guards, indoor and outdoor signs, architectural glazing, face shields, skylights, and point-of-purchase displays.

Polycarbonate rod and plate are easy to machine and have excellent dimensional stability. Custom polycarbonate parts are used for numerous applications including electrical components, manifolds, sight glasses, and semiconductor machinery parts.

Belonging to a particular group of thermoplastic polymers, polycarbonates can go by several names. Most commonly, they are referred to as Lexan, Makrolon, or Makroclear. All of which are trademarked names by various manufacturers.
