Polycarbonate Index
Polycarbonate offers the highest impact strength of any transparent plastic product – 30 times that of standard acrylic sheet and over 250 times the impact strength of glass in equal sheet thickness, making our range of polycarbonate products virtually unbreakable in most applications.
We are a UK based supplier of premium grade polycarbonate sheet, rod, and tube – and we deliver locally, nationally, and internationally.
Our mission is to supply you with excellent quality, realistically priced polycarbonate rod, sheet, and tube – and deliver your order when you need it. We’re extremely proud of our five star rating on Trustpilot and we’re here to help answer any questions you may have about our range of polycarbonate.
Main advantages of using polycarbonate sheet, polycarbonate rod or polycarbonate tube
- Excellent high impact strength

Polycarbonate Sheet
Polycarbonate sheet is a transparent glazing material offering extremely high impact resistance.
We supply polycarbonate sheets with proprietary UV protection, offering excellent weathering resistance, impact resistance and formability for skylights, covered walkways, roof lights, roof domes and barrel vaults. Lexan® Exell® D polycarbonate sheet can safely be used outside and will not yellow from exposure to UV light.

Engineering Grade Polycarbonate Rod & Sheet - PC1000
PC 1000 engineering grade polycarbonate rod & sheet is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic, offering very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. These properties, in addition to good electrical insulating and dielectric properties, make PC1000 polycarbonate an excellent choice for electrical/electronic applications. Its strength, impact resistance and transparency also make it an ideal material for certain transparent structural applications such as sight glasses and windows.
Note This material is ‘non-optical’ industrial quality, and is used for its technical properties rather than aesthetic appearance.
Available colours:
Clear/Translucent
Available to buy in:
Sheet: 15mm to 50mm thick Rod: 10mm to 200mm diameter
