Polycarbonate Flat Sheets, Polycarbonate Sheet and Polycarbonate Flat Panels
Things you to find out about Polycarbonate Sheet, Clear Sheets and Panels before buying
One common misconception is that 'all polycarbonate sheets are the same'. This is not true, as a matter of fact, it is definately not a fact. Even though many manufacturers of polycarbonate sheets begin with a similar base resin, that's where the similarities normally stop. Most polycarbonate sheet extruders run a base material far different from what the standard has been for the last 30 years. Most polycarbonate sheet is now made without the flame rating it had in the past. Polycarbonate Sheets are frequently called 'polycarbonate panels' or 'polycarbonate plates', they are still made from the same high quality resins. One of the best known manufacturers of Polycarbonate resins and sheets is Sabic Polymers®, the manufacturers of Lexan® resin and Lexan® Sheet products. Over the last several years, Sabic has quietly discontinued the UL ratings on their own Polycarbonate.
Industrial Plastic in Anaheim And Bayer Makrolon
For longer than 3 decades, Industrial Plastic Supply has relied on the high quality Polycarbonate Sheets maded by Sheffield, now part of Bayer Material Science. Bayer has produced a really clear, ultra high impact strength resin, this Makrolon resin is the finest in the industry. Bayer also has chosen to continue to produce this premium material with the UL 94 V-0 rating, the only supplier to continue this expensive, but extremely valuable service. Take a moment and look at your requirements, see if perhaps somewhere on the blue print is a note that states your polycarbonate material really needs to be UL 94 V-0 approved or rated. If that's so, Makrolon GP is your only and best choice!
