Polycarbonate is a tough, lightweight plastic sheet used where impact resistance, safety and durability are required. Plastix supplies polycarbonate sheets from Sydney in a range of finishes and thicknesses, with cut-to-size fabrication services available and Australia-wide delivery.
It is commonly specified for commercial, industrial and public space applications where glass or acrylic is not suitable.
Polycarbonate offers strong fire performance compared to many other plastic sheet materials. It has high temperature resistance and is self-extinguishing, meaning it will not continue to burn once the ignition source is removed.
Unlike acrylic sheet, polycarbonate does not burn with an open flame and is often selected for applications where fire rating and safety are key considerations.
One of the key advantages of polycarbonate is that it can withstand bending without breaking, even without pre-heating. It is also approximately 50% lighter than glass, making it easier to handle and install on site.
These characteristics make polycarbonate a reliable choice for a wide range of applications, including:
Polycarbonate sheets are available in a range of standard thicknesses, with cut-to-size options to suit most individual or commercial projects. Thickness availability can vary depending on the finish and grade selected, but commonly stocked options range from 0.75mm up to 20mm.
If you’re unsure which thickness is suitable, the Plastix team can assist with material selection based on impact requirements, span, fixing method and intended use.
Clear polycarbonate sheets are transparent with extremely high impact resistance. It is up to 250 times stronger than glass of the same thickness, making it well suited to safety glazing and protective applications.
It is commonly used where materials need to be vandal-resistant, impact-resistant or security focused, without compromising visibility or UV protection.
Polycarbonate diffusers are designed for consistent light diffusion. They offer vandal-proof high impact resistance and reliable fire performance, making them suitable for use in public and commercial spaces.
This material has minimal variation in thickness and is commonly specified in public spaces for lighting panels and illuminated signage.
Tinted polycarbonate is available in grey and bronze, as well as mirrored finishes. Common applications include signage, machine covers and internal partitions.
When impact resistance and fire rating are crucial, but you need colour too, then the Polycarbonate tint is the material for you.
Mirror polycarbonate is an impact-resistant sheet with a reflective surface on one side. It provides the appearance of a mirror with improved safety compared to glass.
Applications include shop displays, glazing, privacy screens and decorative panels. 2-way mirror polycarbonate is also available.
