Polycarbonate is a superior clear plastic sheet compared to Plexiglass/Acrylic
Sheets can easily be cut, milled, and drilled with any standard tools (hacksaw, jigsaw, snips for thin sheets, standard drill bit, etc.) without the cracking or fracturing you would find in Plexiglass. Additionally, Polycarbonate can be bent neatly. Thin sheets can be bent cold with sheet metal techniques, while thicker ones are easy to shape with the help of a heat gun. It is also perfect for thermoforming or vacuum forming. This makes Polycarb perfect for both DIY and professional projects around the home, shop, or for manufacturing.
EXACT Dimensions
Unlike most Polycarbonate sheets sold by others and cut to a nominal size up to 1/4" smaller than indicated, Robosource's sheets are custom manufactured to exact dimensions, so you always get the same size you ordered.
Shatter Resistant & Strong
Polycarbonate has great mechanical properties, making it often considered as a safer option than glass sheets or acrylic sheets. Tensile Stress: 63 MPa. Flexural Stress: 90 MPa. Rockwell Hardness, R: 120
Brand Name Quality
All of Robosource's Polycarbonate sheets are custom manufactured from 100% virgin polycarbonate.
High Optical Clarity
Light transmission of 88-90%, tested at 2.54mm thickness per ASTM D1003
Electrical Resistance
Volume Resistivity: > 1.0E15 Ohm-cm
Protective Film on BOTH SIDES
This product is shipped with a thin protective film on both sides. Please peel this off to expose the clear sheet. You can mark onto this film while working with the material, then remove it to expose a pristine surface.

I'm using these to attach milk crates to the luggage racks of our scooters. The milk crates work well for transporting groceries and such, but I've found that the stress of carrying such items takes a toll on the bottom of the crates, causing them to fail prematurely.I have thus taken to adding a "buffer" between the rack and the crate's base on each installation. Previously I used plexiglass, but found that cutting and drilling it was difficult. The pieces would crack or shatter.These panels, however, accepted both cutting and drilling without issue. I was able to customize them to fit the crate and then add holes through which I run zip ties, attaching the crates to the racks.I would absolutely purchase these again if I need to replace those crates. I have the impression that these panels will be more durable as well.

These cut the same as wood on a band saw with 14 tpi blade with no cracking or other issues that sometimes pop up with plexiglass. The sheet is clear as glass and without looking at the edges you wouldn't know it wasn't glass. The shatterproof clear panel is great to finish off electronic projects or even when replacing picture frame glass which had an accident.Will buy again, possibly in a thinner option but this is good stuff. The inch grid markings on the front help a great deal for sanity check when laying something out prior to cutting.

Got this to make some sight and flashlight protectors for my airsoft guns. Works great, I got it in 3mm thick and it is plenty strong enough! Just so you are aware you can't cut it with scissors, or sheers. I had to use my scroll saw.8/8

The 1st one I bought was .25 or 1/4". The reason why I got .118 or approx 1/8". It takes less effort to bend it at a 90 degree angle with heat than 1/4". The 1/4" will bend, however you will need a good heat gun with a lot of patience. It's not going to bend like paper. I have to work in steps - heat & bend, heat & bend. Another thing about this product, it is great for drilling holes in it, non of that chipping, that clear plastic does.

Nothing to really complain about. I believe mine did not come with corner guards, but it was intact regardless. I could see the corners getting a bit messed up on some shipments as a result.It's a nice piece of clear acrylic, and a good thickness to be fairly rigid. Makes a good lid for various projects. Make sure you score it very well, preferably on both sides, before snapping it. I have had trouble getting it to snap in a smooth line, even with lots of scoring. Probably just me failing to do it right somehow.

The parts arrived on-time and in great shape. If anything, the product was just a *tad* bit larger than the dimensions that I purchased which is a HUGE plus in case I measured inaccurately. Good material. Was able to measure and easily square off the excess with a bandsaw without issue.
