Polycarbonate (PC) is a tough, clear engineering thermoplastic designed for high impact, elevated service temperatures and reliable safety glazing. SRT Plastics supplies solid PC sheets in clear, UV-protected, hard-coated and coloured variants. Sheets are available cut-to-size with fast turnaround, plus full Processing Options and support for finished Components.
We stock a wide range of solid PC sheets for guards, covers and transparent panels. Options include UV-protected grades for outdoor use, hard-coat for improved scratch resistance and coloured/opal diffusing sheets for lighting and visual communication. Order standard formats or request cut-to-size with dependable European lead times.
Solid PC offers up to 250× the impact resistance of glass at a fraction of the weight, reliable heat performance versus PMMA/PETG, and flame-retardant grades for regulated applications. It can be cold-bent within recommended radii and heat-formed for 3D shapes, making it a top choice for tough, safety-critical environments.
We provide CNC routing, drilling and countersinking, heat bending, cold line bending (within radius), and thermoforming (pre-drying recommended). Finishes include hard-coat, UV-protection, anti-glare/opal, edge machining and printing (with correct pretreatment). We also offer assembly, gasketing and hardware as required.
Polycarbonate combines safety glazing performance with high clarity and heat resistance. It is less brittle than acrylic, easily machined and can be formed for guards, hoods and enclosures. With optional UV and hard-coat layers, PC stands up to outdoor exposure and abrasive cleaning better than many clear plastics.
Solid polycarbonate is used wherever clarity, impact resistance and weight savings matter. Typical applications include machine guards and safety doors on production lines, protective covers for automation cells, shatter-resistant glazing for equipment panels and control cabinets, and vandal-resistant glazing for public transport and street furniture. In buildings it serves as clear or tinted safety glazing for doors, partitions, rooflights and canopies, and protective screens in busy spaces.
Polycarbonate balances safety, clarity and durability for high-traffic, high-impact settings. Typical uses include:
Choose polycarbonate when you need robust, lightweight glazing that processes quickly and safely. Key advantages:
