Polycarbonate Solid Sheet/Pc Solid Sheet
Polycarbonate, sometimes referred to as Lexan or Makrolon, is a strong, unbreakable plastic that is extremely transparent. It is simple to use and provides countless design options for your VEX robot. Sheets may be heated and twisted, as well as simply cut (even tin snips work well for little sections).
Polycarbonate is a superior clear plastic sheet compared to Plexiglass/Acrylic.
Sheets can easily be cut, milled, and drilled with any standard tools (hacksaw, jigsaw, snips for thin sheets, standard drill bit, etc.) without the cracking or fracturing you would find in Plexiglass. Additionally, Polycarbonate can be bent neatly. Thin sheets can be bent cold with sheet metal techniques, while thicker ones are easy to shape with the help of a heat gun. It is also perfect for thermoforming or vacuum forming. This makes Polycarb perfect for both DIY and professional projects around the home, shop or manufacturing.
Shatter Resistant & Strong
Polycarbonate has great mechanical properties, making it often considered a safer option than glass sheets or acrylic sheets. Tensile Stress: 63 MPa. Flexural Stress: 90 MPa. Rockwell Hardness, R: 120
High Optical Clarity
Light transmission of 88-90%, tested at 2.54mm thickness per ASTM D1003
Electrical Resistance
Volume Resistivity: > 1.0E15 Ohm-cm
Protective Film on BOTH SIDES
This product is shipped with a thin protective film on both sides. Please peel this off to expose the clear sheet. You can mark onto this film while working with the material, then remove it to expose a pristine surface.
Polycarbonate (also known as Lexan or Makrolon) is a tough, nonshattering plastic that is very clear. It offers endless possibilities in your VEX robot design and is easy to work with. More than just plastic sheets, the Resource & Installation Kit is available upon request, with tips and info, an adhesive cutting/drilling guide, and a plastic usage chart. Sheets can be cut easily (even tin snips work well for small pieces) and can be cold-bent or heated and bent.
What Makes Polycarbonate So Strong?
The source of polycarbonate's strength is its incredibly strong chemical structure. Its molecules possess tremendously strong bonds in high numbers, giving it its unique levels of resistance. Polycarbonate's ability to withstand a range of forces and impacts is another result of this. However, despite its outstanding resilience, it's also a highly flexible material. This allows it to give way to incoming impacts and pressures to better absorb the force before returning to its original shape.
