  • Clear Plastic Sheeting: Polycarbonate / Polycarb (PC sheet) for use around the home, workshop, car, and in the VEX Robotics Competition. Transparent sheet is great for thermo forming with clear plastic! Superior in usability to glass sheets or clear Plexiglas. Exclusive EasyRuler Protective Film makes work even easier, then just peel it off to expose a pristine, smooth, clear surface.
  • Shatter resistant sheet, easy to cut, drill, bend, and thermoform. Use simple tools like snips or hacksaws to cut and standard drill bits without cracking or fracturing. Simple to bend with a heat gun, may also be cold-bendable. Thermoformable, often used for vacuum molding.
  • This polycarbonate plastic sheet is manufactured from 100% virgin, brand-name polycarbonate PC resin. This means you get the same high quality clear plastic sheet you expect with the exclusive EasyRuler film you can't find anywhere else. This polycarbonate sheet is UV stabilized, making it suitable for general-purpose applications with moderate sunlight exposure. For significant direct sun exposure over extended periods, UV coated sheets are recommended.
  • Includes an individual 12x18" CNC precision square & straight cut sheets of 1/16" (0.060 inch, approx 1.5mm/1.6mm) thick Polycarbonate. Exact size sheet is precisely 12x18", unlike other nominal sheets that can be up to 1/4" smaller than specified. Accurate square & straight cut sheet of 1/16" (0.060 inch, approx 1.5mm/1.6mm) thick Polycarbonate. 1 foot by 1.5 feet, 1/16 inch (0.06 inches) thick.
  • DIY Picture Frame glass sheet replacement, like PET or glass for 4x6 picture frame, 5x7 photo, 8x10 image mounting, 11x14 photo frame fixing. VEX Robotics Plastic Sheet. The best resource for VEX EDR Robotics plastic sheet. Legal for use on VEX Robotics competition robots: Rule R9 permitted.

Polycarbonate is a superior clear plastic sheet compared to Acrylic/Plexiglass

Sheets can easily be cut, milled, and drilled with any standard tools (hacksaw, jigsaw, snips for thin sheets, standard drill bit, etc.) without the cracking or fracturing you would find in Plexiglass. Additionally, Polycarbonate can be bent neatly. Thin sheets can be bent cold with sheet metal techniques, while thicker ones are easy to shape with the help of a heat gun. It is also perfect for thermoforming or vacuum forming. This makes Polycarb perfect for both DIY and professional projects around the home, shop, or for manufacturing.

EasyRuler Film

Exclusive EasyRuler Protective Film makes work even easier, measure, mark, and draw on the film and then just satisfyingly peel it off to expose a pristine, smooth, clear sheet.

Impressively Easy to Cut

Polycarbonate is just about as easy to work with as wood but with unprecedented strength. Use simple tools like snips for thin sheets or a power saw with a plastics blade for cutting , as well as standard drill bits to make holes.

Unbeatable Strength & Impact Resistance

Polycarbonate Plastic is around 200 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic (PMMA) plexiglass. Polycarb is shatter resistant for better safety and security.

Exact Sized Sheets

Unlike other plastic sheets that are typically 1/8" to 1/4" smaller than specified ("nominal size"), all of EasyRuler's polycarbonate sheets are the EXACT size you orderered

Cutting polycarb with hack saw

Easy to Cut

  • Polycarbonate plastic is easy to cut and comes with EasyRuler film to make following lines easier.
  • Can be cut with saws such as a hack saw, circular saw, table saw, or jigsaw if equipped with a suitable blade. You can also use tin snips for 1/32" and 1/16" sheets, or CNC machines

Easy to Drill

Drill with Ease

  • Polycarbonate sheets are easy to drill. Use the crossing lines to space out holes with ease in these clear plastic sheets or tinted plastic sheets.
  • Unlike plexiglass or acrylic, polycarb panels can be drilled without cracking or shattering.

Easy to heat treat

Bend or Thermoform

  • Polycarbonate is easy to bend with heat. Thin plastic sheets can be cold bent too.
  • Polycarbonate can be formed into different shapes with just a typical hand held heat gun.
  • These PC sheets are often used for vacuum forming or thermoforming too.

Make Circles with Ease

  • EasyRuler film makes shapes easy to follow and keeps the plastic surface clean until you are ready to peel.
  • Mark your work the protective film, make the cuts and peel to reveal a protected and pristine surface.
