## Overview

This 1/8 inch thick Lexan polycarbonate sheet offers superior impact resistance, optical clarity, and heat deflection, making it the go-to transparent plastic for professionals who demand durability and versatility. Easily cut, drilled, and thermoformed without cracking, it outperforms acrylic and plexiglass in fabrication and protective applications, while its fire-safe properties add an extra layer of security.

## Description

Polycarbonate sheet combines high impact and temperature resistance with optical clarity and can be utilized for secondary glazing behind existing glazing for economical protection against breakage or intrusion. Polycarbonate sheet can be cut, sawn, drilled and milled by using standard workshop equipment without the risk of cracking and breakage and is therefore an excellent candidate for fabricating a wide range of indoor applications such as machine guards etc. Polycarbonate sheet can be easily thermoformed into complex parts while retaining its excellent properties necessary for demanding applications such as vandal proof street furniture. Polycarbonate sheet may be decorated using a wide variety of modern techniques such as painting and screen printing. Unlike most thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo large plastic deformations without cracking or breaking. As a result, it can be processed and formed at room temperature using sheet metal techniques, such as forming bends on a brake. Even for sharp angle bends with a tight radius, no heating is generally necessary. This makes it valuable in prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are needed, which cannot be made from sheet metal Light transmission Transparent Polycarbonate sheet have excellent light transmission, dependent of thickness between 84 - 87%. Fire performance Polycarbonate sheet has good fire behavior characteristics. Lexan sheet does not contribute significantly to the spread of fire or to the generation of toxic gases.

Review: Polycarbonate is the best; much much better than Acrylic/Plexiglass... - I discovered long ago if you need a ploymer "glass" sheet that can be easily altered in size or needs drilled or a section inside the overall piece removed, plexiglass will be a nightmare, and, by pure luck if you manage to produce an altered sheet of plexiglass, it will be severely compromised and likely to fail soon thereafter. I tried polycarbonate from a hardware store after my frustration with Plexiglass - a small sheet to see how it would perform. To say the least, Ploycarbonate demolishes plexiglass. I've never seen it shatter in a situation where it's being milled to spec. I've used hand drills, put it in a drill press, ground it with a bench grinder, used scoring scribes, hacksaws, a jigsaw to make cuts - I may have jacked a cut, but the integrity of the overall sheet has always maintained. Polycarbonate, as great as it is, is fairly expensive - it's one drawback when it comes to normal, non-exotic projects. Even an 8×10 @1/8" at a big box Hardware store approached $10. The product here is a 12 x 12 x 1/8" Lexan plexiglass for a similar price. You get nearly double the actual square inches of material, a more practical size, for approx the Big Box store's asking price. So polycarbonate, the same as local stores offer, is a good product. Getting any savings on it is generally good given its nominal price locally. This was a major savings and it arrived with free 2-day shipping. I will probably order off desertcart in the future when the need for polycarbonate sheets arises again.
Review: Airsoft Protective Shield - Excellent - Withstood 400FPS from 2 feet repeatedly in automatic and single fire. Used a 2 inch square piece cut with a band saw. A clamp was used to hold the piece and it was shot 30 times without cracking, deforming, or even denting. BB's shatter on impact with it. If you need protective shields for optics or camera gear in an airsoft capacity this material is superb. There is no apparent flex on impact but a small gap between the lens and the sheet would be advised to prevent any energy transfer to the object being protected (glass does not like to flex or absorb energy). Will buy another sheet later. Vastly superior to any product that airsoft websites sell. (Looking at you, evike.come with your shoddy plexiglass sheets that just shatter)

## Features

- THERMOFORMABLE ABS MATERIAL: Black ABS plastic sheet .060" Thick (1/16 in) 12 x 12 plastic sheeting is a durable thermoplastic sheet designed for forming and fabrication projects. The rigid thermoplastic panel provides high impact strength and strong heat deflection performance. When heated, the ABS sheet becomes moldable plastic sheets suitable for shaping and forming, offering an alternative to plexiglass sheets and acrylic sheets for interior panels, repair work, and plastic fabrication.
- RIGID THERMOPLASTIC PANEL: This black plastic sheet is manufactured as a rigid plastic sheet that maintains structure while supporting thermoform sheet applications. The ABS plastic material sheet delivers dependable tensile strength and flexural modulus for structural stability. It can function as a plastic board panel or ABS board used for durable plastic sheet fabrication, mechanical components, engineering plastic sheet projects, and interior plastic panel construction.
- CUTTABLE FABRICATION MATERIAL: ABS sheet .060" Thick (1/16 in) functions as a cuttable plastic sheet suitable for drilling, trimming, and fastening during fabrication. Parts made from this ABS plastic sheet can be assembled using machine screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, and thread forming screws. The rigid plastic sheet also supports press fit, snap fit, and sonic welding methods commonly used with plastic fabrication material and engineering plastic sheet components in workshop repair projects.
- VERSATILE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS: Black ABS plastic sheet is commonly used for appliance parts, tub and shower wall surrounds, and interior automotive trim parts. The plastic panel can also support fabrication of pickup truck caps, boat accessories, and computer housings. As durable plastic sheet material, it is suitable for plastic panels sheets, protective housings, interior panels, equipment covers, and structural fabrication repair projects.
- DURABLE ENGINEERING PLASTIC: ABS plastic sheet black material provides balanced impact strength and heat resistance for fabrication environments. The plastic sheeting works as polymer plastic sheet stock used for forming custom panels, structural covers, and trim components. The rigid thermoplastic panel supports workshop projects, prototyping, equipment housings, plastic panel fabrication, structural plastic components, and general fabrication use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Got the job done!!
*by D***R on March 6, 2025*

I bought this to make a replacement glass for the speedometer on my ‘66 VW Beetle. Cut and shaped it using my tablesaw and a belt sander. Worked like a charm and I still have enough material for other projects.
