What is polycarbonate lexan used for? Polycarbonate lexan glazing for windows. It is used as sheet in machinery guards and industrial assemblies because it is clear and strong, 200-250 times stronger than glass. You may use it for windows, displays, greenhouse windows, table tops and table coverings. Lexan sheet is great for outdoor projects, security windows, and to help prevent crime because polycarbonate is see through yet tough.
We also have polycarbonate sheet with an ultraviolet protection option which protects the material and things behind it from UV rays.
Below is some specs on Monogal polycarbonate sheet. This covers different types of sheet so not all specs apply to ours. Polycarbonate sheet specifications:
MONOGAL
High quality extruded polycarbonate sheets
Monogal (Plazcarb) Polycarbonate extruded sheet is a very durable sheet that has high impact resistance. Monogal is stronger, usable in a higher temperature range and has better light transmission than many kinds of glass. Half the weight of glass and virtually unbreakable, Monogal sheets meet the stringent demand of applications such as heavy machinery, automotive, safety and construction, skylights and flat or curved glazing for architectural applications. A special co-extruded layer is provided on one or both sides for enhanced long term weather resistance.
