Polycarbonate is a superior 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 would 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 Resistance
Volume Resistivity: > 1.0E15 Ohm-cm

Protective Film on BOTH SIDES
This product is shipped with a thin protective film on both sides. 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.

Polycarbonate (also known as Lexan or Makrolon) is a tough, non shattering plastic that is very clear. It offers endless possibilities in your VEX robot design and is easy to work with. More than just plastic sheets, Resource & Installation Kit available upon request, with tips and info, adhesive cutting/drilling guide, and plastic usage chart. Sheets can be cut easily (even tin snips work well for small pieces) and can be cold-bent or heated and bent. Legal for use on competition robots: Rule R9 permits plastic from one 12x24x0.070" sheet. Includes three 12x24" (+/- 1/8") sheets of 1/16" Polycarbonate.

Clear Plastic Sheeting: Polycarbonate / Polycarb (also known as Lexan or Makrolon) for use around the home, workshop, car, and in the VEX Robotics Competition. Transparent Lexan sheet is great for thermo forming with clear plastic! Superior in usability to glass sheets or clear Plexiglas.
Shatter resistant Lexan sheet, 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.
Transparent polycarbonate panes are sold under a number of brands including Lexan by SABIC, Perspex, Makrolon, Tuffak, Spartech, Palram, Gallina. Better workability than Clear Acrylic Plexiglass sold as Lucite, Plexiglas, Perspex, etc.
