Detailed Engineering Specifications

A proven choice for industrial professionals, this 0.624" thick polycarbonate stock sheet delivers superior performance in pneumatic environments. Measuring 34" in length and 17" in width, it provides ample material for fabricating robust enclosures, guards, and sight glasses. Polycarbonate's inherent impact resistance (Izod notch impact strength ~60-80 kJ/m²) significantly surpasses that of acrylic, ensuring long-term durability against mechanical stress and potential impacts common in industrial settings. Its excellent optical clarity (light transmittance ~88-90%) allows for clear visual monitoring of internal pneumatic components. The material's wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C) further enhances its suitability for diverse industrial applications.
