Online Metal Supply Polycarbonate Sheet 1/4" x 24" x 36" - Clear

Polycarbonate, also known as bisphenol A (BPA), was independently synthesized by polymer chemists Dr. H. Schnell of Bayer AG, Germany and Dr. Daniel W. Fox of General Electric Company, USA in 1953. Polycarbonate is a virtually unbreakable plastic, and its variations are fashioned into eyewear lenses, protective equipment including bullet-proof glass, numerous medical devices, and can also be used as a building material in greenhouses. It can be utilized through glazing applications, digital media such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, as well as outdoor lighting fixtures. This general-purpose polycarbonate sheet is a polished, UV stabilized product featuring outstanding impact strength and superior dimensional stability. General purpose polycarbonate sheets are cost-effective and perfect for a wide range of industrial and domestic uses including crafts, window replacements, photo framing, glazing, design, structural applications, and formed or fabricated components. Notable Attributes:

• VIRTUALLY UNBREAKABLE STRENGTH — Polycarbonate sheet delivers 9500 PSI tensile strength and is 250x stronger than glass, making it ideal for machine guards and safety shields. Rated UL 94 V-2 flame resistant and compliant with ASTM D3935. Withstands impact that would shatter acrylic or glass — a trusted material for demanding industrial and safety applications.
• PRECISION-CUT DIMENSIONS — Sheet measures exactly 1/4" (0.25") thick x 24" wide x 36" long, tolerances held to +/-0.010" for consistent fit. Weighs 10.29 lbs. Crystal-clear optical clarity maintained throughout full thickness. Each sheet is inspected to ensure dimensional accuracy right out of the box for your fabrication or engineering project.
• VERSATILE APPLICATIONS — Purpose-built for machine guards, safety shields, greenhouse panels, skylights, and bullet-resistant barriers. Trusted across manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and security industries. Clear visibility combined with exceptional impact resistance makes this sheet the go-to choice where safety, light transmission, and structural integrity are all required simultaneously.
• EASY TO FABRICATE — Cuts cleanly with standard woodworking or plastic-cutting blades, drills without cracking, and thermoforms at moderate temperatures. Bonds with methylene chloride or polycarbonate-compatible adhesives. Can be cold-bent for simple curves. Remove protective masking film before forming. Compatible with standard shop tools — no specialized equipment required for most fabrication tasks.
• PRECISION TOLERANCES & QUALITY — Dimensions held to +/- 0.010" ensuring consistent, precise fit for fabrication and engineering applications. Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management standards for reliable material quality on every order.
