Description of ๐Ÿ”ฒ Plexiglass Robotics Industrial Raw Materials with Polycarbonate Resistance

Polycarbonate / Polycarb (also known as Lexan or Makrolon) for use around the home, workshop, car, and in the Robotics Competition. Great for thermo forming!. Shatter resistant, easy to cut, drill, bend, and thermoform. Use simple tools like snips or hacksaws to cut and standard drill bits without cracking or fracturing. Simple to bend with a heat gun, may also be cold-bendable. Thermoformable, often used for vacuum molding. Polycarbonate is sold under a number of brands including Lexan by SABIC, Perspex, Makrolon, Tuffak, Spartech, Palram, Gallina. This sheet is made from high quality, 100% virgin SABIC brand polycarbonate. Exact size sheet is precisely 12x12", unlike other nominal sheets that can be up to 1/4" smaller than specified. Includes a single accurately square & straight cut sheet of 1/4" (0.236", approx 6mm/6.35mm) thick Polycarbonate. 1 foot by 1 feet, 1/4 inch (0.236 inches, approx. 0.25 or 0.220 inch) thick. Polycarbonate clear plastic sheets are easier to work with than Plexiglass acrylic sheets as they do not crack, fracture, or shatter from cutting, drilling, or impact. Safer and more practical than glass panes.

Works as expected.

We needed a product that would distribute the weight of the four legs of a flat screen TV without damaging the top of our media center. We have also ordered non-slip furniture pads that you can attach to the bottom of your product. The combination seems to work as expected.

Pros
  • Exact sheet size is 12" x 12", unlike other nominal sheets which can be 1/4" smaller than stated. Contains a precisely square and straight sheet of polycarbonate with a thickness of 1/4 inch (0.236 inch, approx. 6 mm/6.35 mm). 1 foot by 1 foot, 1/4 inch (0.236 inch, about 0.25 or 0.220 inch) thick.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Easily cut with a jigsaw

Bought this polycarbonate to make floors for my cruiser. I found it fairly easy to cut with a medium blade jigsaw. I was able to remove the roughness in the cuts with sandpaper of different grit. In general, the work was easy and I got the results I expected.

Pros
  • Polycarbonate is sold under several brand names including Lexan by SABIC, Perspex, Makrolon, Tuffak, Spartech, Palram, Gallina. This sheet is made from high quality 100% virgin SABIC brand polycarbonate.
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

The product is excellent. Just gotta work on the delivery.

I'm sorry for not giving the best rating as the issue is not with the product but with Revain's inability to provide adequate protection for items. As described, the product was protected by a plastic wrap, but the Revain packers decided to add a few more items to the box that were unsecured. There is now a 1 inch scratch on the material that I should try to buff out.

Pros
  • Impact resistant, easy to cut, drill, bend and thermoform. Use simple tools like scissors or hacksaws to cut standard drill bits without cracks or tears. Easy to bend with a heat gun, it can also be bent cold. Thermoformable, often used for vacuum forming.
Cons
  • Flamboyant
