General Information
This is an industrial thermoplastic similar to glass with an amorphous structure noted for its hardness. It offers high resistance to impact that surpasses the physical properties of all similar materials. Polycarbonate sheets are optically clear but not as shiny as those of PMMA. Their resistance to temperature and dimensional stability are good. For outdoor use, sheets with UV protection on either side are recommended.
Temperature
-100ºC +120ºC
Density
1,2 gr/cm3
