A lightweight alternative to glass, these polycarbonate rods and discs are often made into sight windows and display racks. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. Lengths up to 1/2” are cut from sheets for a clear, smooth face. Rods and discs that meet UL 972 are rated as burglar resistant.

Light Pipes for Miniature LED Light Bulbs

Display light where you need it, even when the bulb is out of reach. Often used between a circuit board and a display, these pipes carry light from a source LED and display it on the other end of their length. They protect against diffusion, so the display will be just as bright as the source. Made of polycarbonate, they resist denting, chipping, and cracking.

Impact-Resistant Plastic Pellets

Absorbing impact without cracking or breaking, these plastic pellets are molded into parts that endure bumps, scrapes, and falls. Use them with injection molders, 3D printers, and other molding equipment.

Polycarbonate pellets handle higher temperatures than any of these other materials, but they’re more difficult to thermoform. Clear in color and a lightweight alternative to glass, they’re often used to make windows, machine guards, and instrument covers.
