Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.237" thick polycarbonate stock sheet measures 38" in length and 22" in width. Constructed from high-performance polycarbonate resin, it exhibits superior impact resistance (exceeding 150 J/m for Izod notched impact), excellent optical clarity (typically >88% light transmission), and a broad operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C). Its inherent UV resistance and flame retardant properties (UL94 V-0 rated) make it ideal for machine guarding, protective barriers, and transparent containment solutions where safety and durability are paramount.
