Polycarbonate sheet is virtually unbreakable making it extremely safe for impact protection. It is 250 times stronger than glass but only half the weight. It can be formed into curves on site not possible with laminated glass. Polycarbonate provides excellent optical clarity with light transmission of 82-90% and UV protection for outdoor use. It is suitable for electrical applications due to its insulation and dielectric properties. Polycarbonate can withstand high heat environments and be used in lighting applications.

11. Painting and Printing
Urethane, epoxy, acrylic, polyvinyl chloride acetate copolymer and phenol resin paints can all be used. Acrylic cold setting paints are recommended. For printing, acrylic, chlorinated rubber, polyvinyl chloride and polyamide inks can be used, while chlorinate rubber and polyamide inks are preferred. When choosing a paint or printing ink, take a special note of chemical composition, especially the type and concentration of the thinner or carrier that is used.
