Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this polycarbonate stock sheet measures 0.472 inches (12 mm) in thickness, 43 inches (1092 mm) in length, and 18 inches (457 mm) in width. Composed of high-grade polycarbonate resin, it exhibits excellent tensile strength, superior impact resistance (exceeding 150 J/m at 23°C), and remarkable dimensional stability under varying environmental conditions. Its inherent UV resistance and non-yellowing properties ensure long-term performance. This sheet is engineered for applications demanding a clear, durable substrate capable of withstanding abrasive forces and maintaining optical integrity, such as polishing jigs, protective shielding for grinding operations, and custom fixturing in material finishing processes.
