Description of 24" X 48" Polycarbonate Plastic Sheet 1/8" Thick | Shatter Resistant, Easier To Cut & Bend Than Plexiglass | For Robotics Teams, Hobbyists, DIYers, Industrial Crafts

Polycarbonate / Polycarb (also known as Lexan or Makrolon) is the superior choice over Plexiglas (Acrylic PMMA) for use around the home, workshop, car, and in the VEX Robotics Competition. Extremely easily workable without cracking or chipping. Exclusive EasyRuler Protective Film makes work even easier, then just peel it off to expose a pristine, smooth, clear surface. 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 24x48", unlike other nominal sheets that can be up to 1/4" smaller than specified. Includes a single accurately square & straight cut sheet of 1/8" (0.118", approx 3mm/3.2mm) thick Polycarbonate. 2 foot by 4 feet, 1/8 inch (0.118 inches, approx. 0.125 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.

not the easiest to cut

Ended up using my vibrating tool with saw tooth blade. Works good but sometimes melts if held too long requiring clean-up with file.

Pros
  • I built a tank useing it
Cons
  • More expensive than alternative materials such as glass or acrylic

Great Product! best in my review

I purchased this to use as a protective "backsplash" for my rangetop stove. It was easy to trim down to exact size and it certainly worked as advertised especially in holding up to the high temperatures while cooking.

Pros
  • Easy to work with and made to fish tank tops. Happy!
Cons
  • May require specialized cutting tools to achieve desired shape or size

Great value! Legit product!

Very happy with this purchase. It's legit polycarbonate sheet at a great price. This same exact sheet is double at Lowes! Crazy. Using it for replacement glass on a window pane. Already put acrylic (plexiglass) on the one side. Putting this on the inside.

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • Can deform under sustained heavy loads or pressure, affecting durability

Good value for money

First time trying it. was able to cut it easily with a Miter Saw.the only caveat is, make sure u put some sacrificial Ply wood at the bottom to avoid chip outs

Pros
  • Raw Materials
Cons
  • Prone to cracking under impact or extreme pressure

Great plastic sheet!

Well made thick & heavy duty plastic sheet & received quickly & very well packed. It’s been placed in front of lower opening sliding glass door to protect from outside elements and works perfectly and not flimsy at all. Many thx for great product & exactly what I needed!

Pros
  • Sheets
Cons
  • Can become brittle over time, requiring replacement

Had a scratch good for me

Had a factory scratch under the protective paper. Wouldn't have been an issue but I was replacing a window and already cut it before I pulled off the protective paper. I had to install it because of the cold weather outside.

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • Not suitable for outdoor use in harsh weather conditions
