Lexan Polycarbonate Sheets are clear and tough
Polycarbonate materials give you a balance of beneficial features including high temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates in between commodity plastics and engineering plastic materials. Polycarbonate is a very rugged material. Although it features outstanding impact-resistance, it possesses reduced scratch-resistance and so a hard coating can be applied to polycarbonate eyeglasses and polycarbonate exterior auto components. The characteristics relating to polycarbonate are generally similar to that of those of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic), except polycarbonate is going to be stronger, it is usable in a wider temperature range and is a bit more expensive. This plastic polymer is highly transparent to visible light and it has better light transmission characteristics than many kinds of glass. Polycarbonate carries a glass transition temperature near 150 °C (302 °F), in order that it softens slowly above this point and flows abo...
