Polycarbonate: key facts
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer. What does this mean? It’s incredibly strong, clear, and UV-resistant.

Our polycarbonate sheets at Plasticsheetsshop aren’t just robust; they also withstand high temperatures, pressure, and UV exposure. They’re suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

These sheets can be used in temperatures ranging from -40 to 120 ℃ and are practical for both indoors and outdoors.
