Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.034-inch thick polycarbonate sheet measures precisely 40 inches in length and 16 inches in width. The material exhibits superior tensile strength and a high impact resistance (Izod impact strength of 12-16 ft-lb/in), making it suitable for applications where breakage is a concern. Its excellent thermal stability (continuous use temperature up to 265°F) and UV resistance ensure long-term performance in various environments. Common fabricating processes like cutting, drilling, and thermoforming are readily achievable with standard industrial equipment.
