Description:

Polycarbonate, also referred to as PC, is a tough, impact-resistant, virtually unbreakable material used in wide variety of applications. It is an amorphous thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of up to 265° F (129° C).
Features:

Polycarbonate is half the weight & 200 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic.

Polycarbonate has superior thermal properties to reduce sound transmittance, especially in minimizing heat loss.
Architectural Applications:

There are many applications where the benefits of polycarbonate sheet can be utilized to enhance architectural designs. These features, along with its high impact strength, make polycarbonate an excellent choice for security as ballistic applications where enhanced building design and protection of assets is a primary concern.
