Detailed Engineering Specifications

A high-performance industrial component, this 0.824-inch thick polycarbonate stock sheet measures 27 inches in length and 40 inches in width. Fabricated from high-grade polycarbonate, it boasts exceptional impact resistance (rated up to 250 times that of glass) and is virtually shatterproof, crucial for high-pressure hydraulic systems. Its inherent chemical resistance protects against common hydraulic fluids, and its wide operating temperature range (-40°F to 250°F) ensures reliability in diverse industrial settings. This material offers excellent light transmission for visual monitoring of fluid levels and flow.
