Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate (PC) or Lexan plastics are naturally transparent, amorphous thermoplastics. They are commercially available in lots of colors. The best thing about polycarbonate is that its raw material allows for internal light transmission in almost the same capacity as glass.

They are engineered plastics and can be used for the production of lots of materials. Moreover, they are transparent, heat-resistant, impact resistant, and they can even resist bullets.

PC is normally used in medical devices, and for plastic lenses in eyewear, automotive components, greenhouses, protective gear, digital discs, and exterior lighting fixtures.

Physical Features

PC is a naturally transparent, amorphous thermoplastic. It comes in various sizes. The standard sheet sizes are 24″ x 48″, 48″ x 48″, 48″ x 96.” The standard thicknesses are 0.062″, 0.118″ (3mm), 0.177″ (4.5mm), 0.236″ (6mm), 0.375″, 0.500″ (12mm). Standard colors are bronze, white (aka ice or opal), and clear. Additionally, you can get red, yellow, green, blue, orange, and more.

Benefits of Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate Signs can be double-sided which is great for advertising your business or communicating important details about where an event is being held. People love to use this material due to some benefits that they get from PC.

Weaknesses of Polycarbonate

Lexan signs may not be as durable to survive extremely windy weather, so if you have one, remember to bring them inside, especially on windy days. Let’s see some other weaknesses.
