8mm solid polycarbonate
8mm Clear Polycarbonate Sheet [UV2] - cut to size
8mm clear solid polycarbonate sheets are suitable for a wide range of structural and industrial applications. These high performance sheets are particularly suited to heavy-duty projects. Solid polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable and extremely durable. With a glass like clarity solid polycarbonate is around half the weight of glass making it much easier to handle for safer installation. It is also 30x stronger than acrylic and more shatter resistant. Made in the UK, the sheets are UV2 which gives them co-extruded UV protection on both surfaces of the sheet. 8mm solid polycarbonate has a Class 1 fire rating with self-extinguishing qualities. Our 8mm solid polycarbonate sheets are from the Palsun™ range. They are supported by a 10 Year manufacturer’s warranty and well-maintained sheets can be expected to last 10- 20 years.
