Clear Transparent Polycarbonate Sheet - SQ (Optical Quality)

SRT Plastics PC – Clear Transparent Sheet SQ (Optical Quality)

SRT Plastics PC – Clear Transparent Sheet SQ (Superior Quality) is a solid polycarbonate sheet manufactured to optical-grade specifications. This premium version features exceptional visual clarity, minimal internal distortion, and tightly controlled surface flatness, making it ideal for applications where visual performance and dimensional precision are critical.

Designed primarily for indoor use, SQ polycarbonate excels in high-tech, medical, inspection, display, and optical environments, where standard clear plastics fall short.

Applications

Thanks to its ultra-high clarity and low optical distortion, this sheet is commonly used in:

  • Vision systems and camera inspection panels
  • Screens and windows for sensitive instruments
  • Glazing for medical or laboratory equipment
  • High-end product displays and lightboxes
  • Technical signage and printed overlays
  • Protective covers for electronics and touch interfaces
  • Transparent partitions in cleanrooms or controlled environments

Exceptional Impact Resistance

Despite its optical refinement, this SQ polycarbonate sheet retains the core strength advantages of standard polycarbonate:

  • Up to 10 times stronger than high-impact acrylic
  • Twice as strong as PETG
  • Suitable for bending, thermoforming, machining, and precision fabrication
  • Maintains dimensional stability for demanding technical applications

Outstanding Fire Performance

This material is certified under the EN13501-1 fire safety classification for building and construction materials:

  • Self-extinguishing without sustained flame
  • Low oxygen index prevents combustion under normal air conditions
  • In fire scenarios, the material melts to create ventilation paths for heat and smoke, without contributing to flame spread

Low Minimum Order Quantities

At SRT Plastics, we maintain flexible MOQs, allowing you to order only what you need:

  • Minimum quantities depend on dimensions and optical grade
  • Custom thicknesses and sizes available on request
  • Ideal for prototyping, small-series production, and machine integration
