Polycarbonate is a excellent clear plastic sheet compared to Plexiglass/Acrylic:

Sheets can easily be cut, milled, and drilled with any standard tools (hacksaw, jigsaw, snips for thin sheets, standard drill bit, etc.) without the cracking or fracturing you may find in Plexiglass. Additionally, Polycarbonate can be bent neatly. Thin sheets can be bent cold with sheet metal techniques, while thicker ones are easy to shape with the help of a heat gun. It is also perfect for thermoforming or vacuum forming. This makes Polycarb perfect for both DIY and professional projects around the home, shop, or for manufacturing

Shatter Resistant & Strong

• Polycarbonate has great mechanical properties, making it often considered as a safer option than glass sheets or acrylic sheets. Tensile Stress: 63 MPa. Flexural Stress: 90 MPa. Rockwell Hardness, R: 120

High Optical Clarity

• Light transmission of 88-90%, tested at 2.54mm thickness per ASTM D1003

Electrical Resistivity

• Volume Resistivity: > 1.0E15 Ohm-cm

Protective Film on BOTH SIDES

• This product is shipped with our exclusive EasyRuler  protective film. Please peel this off to expose the clear sheet. You can mark onto this film while working with the material, then remove it to expose a pristine surface.

About this item

• Polycarbonate / Polycarb (also known as Lexan or Makrolon) is the superior choice over Plexiglas (Acrylic PMMA) for use around the home, workshop, car, and in the VEX Robotics Competition. Extremely easily workable without cracking or chipping. Exclusive EasyRuler Protective Film makes work even easier, then just peel it off to expose a pristine, smooth, clear surface.
• Shatter resistant, easy to cut, drill, bend, and thermoform. Use simple tools like snips or hacksaws to cut and standard drill bits without cracking or fracturing. Simple to bend with a heat gun, may also be cold-bendable. Thermoformable, often used for vacuum molding.
• Polycarbonate is sold under a number of brands including Lexan by SABIC, Perspex, Makrolon, Tuffak, Spartech, Palram, Gallina. This sheet is made from high quality, 100% virgin SABIC brand polycarbonate.
• Exact size sheet is precisely 12x12", unlike other nominal sheets that can be up to 1/4" smaller than specified. Includes a single accurately square & straight cut sheet of 1/16" (0.060 inch, approx 1.5mm/1.6mm) thick Polycarbonate. 1 foot by 1 feet, 1/16 inch (0.06 inches) thick.
• VEX Robotics Resource & Installation Kit available on request, includes tips and info, adhesive cutting/drilling guide, and plastic usage chart. The best resource for VEX EDR Robotics plastic sheet to improve their robot, documentation, and build quality. Legal for use on VEX Robotics competition robots: Rule R9 permits plastic from one 12x24x0.070" sheet.
