Transparent Gray Smoked Polycarbonate, aka lexan, is a high-quality and strong plastic sheet. It is 200 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic, offering superior durability against impacts and weather elements, making it perfect for both outdoor and indoor applications. Ideal for a vast array of applications, from innovative commercial and DIY projects, these polycarbonate lexan sheets are not only impact-resistant but also lightweight, making installation a breeze. Our tinted gray polycarbonate sheets are engineered for longevity and performance to stand the test of time.
We carry several pre-cut sizes of transparent gray polycarbonate in both 1/8" thick and 1/4" thick sheets. We also offer custom cut-to-size and CNC routing services for those more demanding and technical projects.
Transparent Grey (Light) - Approximate light transmittance under lab conditions (ATSM D 1003) - 50%
Transparent Grey (Dark) - Approximate light transmittance under lab conditions (ATSM D 1003) - 18%
Key Characteristics of Transparent Gray Polycarbonate:
Applications: windows, signage, partitions, machine guards, merchandise displays, storage shelves, automotive, aviation, security barriers, marine accessories, skylights, protective shields, face shields, robotic parts, boat windows, patio covers, hobbyist applications, and a variety of other applications.
The Term lexan is commonly used to describe polycarbonate. Actual name brand will depend on current stock.
