Polycarbonate Sheet (UV Resistant) Cut To Size

Description

Polycarbonate is a premium-grade thermoplastic known for its exceptional impact resistance, optical clarity, and high heat tolerance. Manufactured by SABIC, Lexan is a brand name synonymous with durability and strength—offering up to 250 times the impact resistance of glass while being significantly lighter.

It’s widely used in applications like machine guards, safety glazing, riot shields, greenhouses, signage, and fabrication projects. Lexan can be easily cut, drilled, and thermoformed, making it a versatile choice for both industrial and DIY use.

In addition to its physical strength, Lexan is also available with UV-resistant coatings, anti-scratch surfaces, and flame-retardant grades, depending on the application needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a polycarbonate sheet used for?

Polycarbonate sheet is a tough, lightweight plastic used for roofing, glazing, machine guards, safety screens, signage, and DIY projects. It is commonly chosen where high impact resistance and light transmission are needed, such as pergolas, carports, skylights, and industrial covers, while being easier to handle than glass.

What is polycarbonate sheet made from?

Polycarbonate sheet is made from thermoplastic polymer resin designed for strength and clarity. It is manufactured as solid or multiwall sheet and is known for high impact resistance, good light transmission, and temperature stability. Many sheets also include UV protection to reduce yellowing and material breakdown outdoors.

What sizes and thicknesses do polycarbonate sheets come in?

Polycarbonate sheets are commonly available in standard sheet sizes such as 2440 × 1220 mm, 2490 x 1880 mm, 3050 x 2030 mm with thicknesses ranging from around 1 mm up to 12 mm or more. Thickness selection depends on span, impact requirements, and application. Sheets can often be cut down to suit specific project dimensions.

Can polycarbonate sheet be cut and installed easily?

Polycarbonate sheet can be cut using standard woodworking tools such as circular saws or jigsaws with fine-tooth blades. Installation typically involves pre-drilling holes, allowing for thermal expansion, and using compatible fixings. Correct spacing, edge clearances, and support framing are important to prevent cracking or distortion over time.

How strong and impact resistant is polycarbonate sheet?

Polycarbonate sheet is significantly more impact resistant than acrylic and glass, making it suitable for safety and protective applications. It resists cracking under impact and performs well in high-traffic or exposed areas. While very strong, it can still scratch and should be handled carefully during transport and installation.

How long does polycarbonate sheet last outdoors?

When used outdoors, polycarbonate sheet typically lasts many years, especially when UV-stabilised. UV protection helps reduce yellowing, brittleness, and loss of strength over time. Lifespan depends on exposure conditions, installation quality, and maintenance, particularly in harsh Australian sunlight and high-temperature environments.

Is polycarbonate sheet compliant with Australian standards?

Polycarbonate sheets used in building and glazing applications may comply with relevant Australian standards depending on the product specification and intended use. Requirements can vary for roofing, safety glazing, or industrial use. It is important to check suitability against local building codes and council requirements for your specific project.
