Frequently Asked Questions About PC Plastic
What thickness of polycarbonate sheet do I need for my application?
Sheet thickness depends on your specific application. For general glazing and light covers, 3-6mm is typically sufficient. Machine guards and safety shields usually require 8-12mm. For structural applications or ballistic protection, consider 15mm or thicker. Our technical team can help determine the optimal thickness based on your load requirements and safety factors.
Can polycarbonate be used outdoors?
Yes, UV-stabilized polycarbonate grades are excellent for outdoor applications. Our UV-resistant PC sheets include co-extruded UV protection layers that prevent yellowing and degradation for 10+ years of outdoor exposure. Standard clear polycarbonate without UV protection may yellow within 2-3 years of direct sunlight exposure.
How does PC compare to Lexan® or Makrolon®?
Lexan® and Makrolon® are brand names for polycarbonate materials. The base polymer is chemically identical to generic PC plastic. Our polycarbonate materials offer equivalent properties and performance to these branded products, often at more competitive prices. We can match specific grade requirements if you're currently using branded PC materials.
What tolerances can you achieve when machining polycarbonate?
Our CNC machining centers maintain tolerances of ±0.03mm (±0.0012") for most polycarbonate components. Tighter tolerances down to ±0.01mm are achievable for critical features with appropriate fixturing and tooling. Surface finishes can reach Ra 0.8 μm with proper cutting parameters and post-processing.
Do you offer flame-retardant polycarbonate?
Yes, we stock V-0 and V-2 rated flame-retardant PC materials that meet UL94 standards. These specialized grades are ideal for electrical enclosures, transportation applications, and building components requiring fire safety compliance. Flame-retardant additives may slightly affect optical clarity compared to standard clear PC.
