Description of Shatter Resistant Polycarbonate Plastic Sheet With EasyRuler Film: Ideal For VEX Robotics, DIY, Hobby, And More!

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 1/16" (0.060 inch, approx 1.5mm/1.6mm) thick Polycarbonate. 2 foot by 4 feet, 1/16 inch (0.06 inches) thick. VEX Robotics Resource & Installation Kit available on request, includes tips and info, adhesive cutting/drilling guide, and plastic usage chart. The best resource for VEX EDR Robotics plastic sheet to improve their robot, documentation, and build quality. Legal for use on VEX Robotics competition robots: Rule R9 permits plastic from one 12x24x0.070" sheet.

Very happy.: my feedback

I got this to use on my kitchen counter. I had covered my counters w/ D-C-Fix self adhesive vinyl film and it will wear if not protected so I got this for one space and glass counter protectors for others. You could also use clear vinyl protector and I'm going to do that after I replace the area in front of the sink especially.

Pros
  • VEX Robotics Resource & Installation Kit available on request, includes tips and info, adhesive cutting/drilling guide, and plastic usage chart. The best resource for VEX EDR Robotics plastic sheet to improve their robot, documentation, and build quality. Legal for use on VEX Robotics competition robots: Rule R9 permits plastic from one 12x24x0.070" sheet.
Cons
  • It may be difficult to cut the sheet without leaving rough edges

Perfect for thermoforming!

I used this plastic for thermoforming some visors for a Halloween costume, what was great about this plastic is that i used a staple gun to the vacuum forming wood frame and it never cracked! This is the only plastic that has worked for me when thermoforming! Just make sure to melt it enough and it’ll work for you! Will order again definitely!

Pros
  • works well at protecting drywall from dogs jumping up against the wall with their paws/Claws
Cons
  • The EasyRuler film may peel off after prolonged use, affecting precision measurements

Good. But grid is not printed on the cover paper

I bought this particular product bc I knew I wanted to cut it down to two smaller pieces. I figured the grid guide would be extremely helpful in cutting it down. But the product I ordered had plain paper/plastic protective covering with the name of the product and the company but no guidelines whatsoever, which made cutting and measuring a bit more difficult, especially on a large and pliable object.

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • The sheet is not suitable for outdoor use due to the susceptibility to UV damage
