Excelite® clear polycarbonate sheets are a virtually unbreakable, general-purpose polycarbonate. These sheets provide UV resistance, exceptional weather-ability, and superior impact strength. The Excelite® clear GP polycarbonate sheets are easy to thermoform, machining, fabricate, printing and decorate without needing special forming techniques. They are also guaranteed 10 years against excessive yellowing, hazing, breakage, and loss of light transmission.
We offer polycarbonate sheets in a wide range of thicknesses, from 1mm to over 100mm for super thick polycarbonate sheets. We also provide custom sizing to meet your specific needs.
In addition to double-sided glossy clear sheets, we manufacture frosted polycarbonate sheets, polycarbonate roofing sheets, and tinted polycarbonate sheets.
Whatever your polycarbonate needs, we’ve got you covered! Contact us today with your requirements.

Application
Screens and Glazings
Shatter proof screens, windows, HCMT doors, protective barriers, machine guards, impact resistance is essential for safety and security.
Polycarbonate Skylights
Clear polycarbonate sheets are commonly used as a substitute for glass in roof skylight, flat roof skylights, skylight replacements, and dome skylights.
Signs and Displays
Polycarbonate panels used in signage, retail displays, and advertising boards, plastic sign board because of their clarity and durability in outdoor conditions.
Outdoor sound barriers, noise barriers, and sound barrier fences are used on highway or bridges as acoustic panel, also for protection against wind.
Eyewear lenses, protective gear including bullet-resistant visors, medical visors, full face protection
Clear polycarbonate sheets are an ideal material for pergola and veranda covers, offering a traditional glass-like appearance
FAQ
Polycarbonate sheets may yellow over time, which is influenced by the material quality and the presence of protective coatings. Excelite’s clear polycarbonate sheets have UV coatings on both sides and come with a 10-year warranty.
Yes, clear polycarbonate sheets are more prone to scratching compared to some other materials, such as glass or acrylic. But we offer polycarbonate sheets with scratch-resistant coatings that can help improve durability and reduce the likelihood of scratches.
Polycarbonate sheet material is known for its high impact resistance and durability. To drill holes in polycarbonate, use an ordinary iron or HSS drill bit. Position the drill perpendicular to the sheet and run it at medium speed, applying light pressure. A slightly used but sharp drill bit is best to avoid “biting” into the material.
And don’t drill too close to the edge.
The lifespan of Excelite® polycarbonate sheet typically ranges from 10 to 15 years, depending on factors such as material quality, UV protection, environmental exposure, and maintenance. PC Sheets with UV-resistant coatings generally last longer.
No, polycarbonate and Perspex (acrylic sheet) are not the same. While both are transparent plastic materials, polycarbonate is more impact-resistant, tougher, and flexible, making it nearly unbreakable. Perspex, also known as acrylic, is more rigid and has a higher clarity but is more prone to cracking and shattering under impact. Polycarbonate is better suited for applications requiring durability and impact resistance, whereas Acrylic is often chosen for its optical clarity and scratch resistance.
For bonding polycarbonate, several types of adhesives are suitable, each offering specific benefits:
Epoxy Resin:
- Recommended for strong and durable bonds, making it ideal for polycarbonate.
Two-Component Polyurethane Adhesive:
- Offers quick curing with good strength and toughness.
Acrylic Adhesives and Silicone Adhesives:
- Versatile options that provide flexibility and environmental resistance.
UV-Curing Adhesives:
- Suitable for applications requiring fast curing, though less effective on polycarbonate.
Overall, epoxy resin is the preferred choice for achieving a strong, reliable bond with polycarbonate.
