Polycarbonate (PC) panels are high-performance, transparent or translucent thermoplastic sheets renowned for their exceptional impact resistance, light weight, and design versatility. They are produced from polycarbonate resin through extrusion or co-extrusion processes, forming solid sheets or multi-walled, hollow-channeled structures. The material’s most notable characteristic is its extreme toughness—it is approximately 250 times stronger than glass of the same thickness and highly resistant to shattering, making it a premier choice for safety and security glazing. Furthermore, polycarbonate offers excellent thermal insulation properties (especially in multi-walled profiles), inherent flame retardancy, and good resistance to weathering when treated with co-extruded UV protective layers to prevent yellowing and maintain light transmission over time.

The applications for polycarbonate panels are diverse, spanning architectural, industrial, and security sectors. In architecture and construction, they are widely used for skylights, canopy roofs, sound barriers, greenhouse glazing, and modern façade systems where natural light, safety, and thermal efficiency are priorities. In security, they form bullet-resistant windows, vandal-resistant barriers, and protective enclosures. The industrial and signage markets use them for machine guards, safety shields, and durable illuminated signs. Compared to glass, polycarbonate panels are far lighter and easier to install and cut on-site but are more susceptible to scratching, requiring careful handling and maintenance. Their ability to be cold-formed into curves, combined with high impact strength, makes them an indispensable material for creating durable, lightweight, and energy-efficient transparent structures in both commercial and residential projects.
