Polycarbonate sheet (PC) is a tough, impact-resistant thermoplastic that provides excellent durability and dimensional stability. It offers a broad operating temperature range, is shatter resistant and provides excellent optical clarity (dependent on the grade).
At PAR Group, we supply a range of polycarbonate brands that offer different characteristics. Our standard and most popular grade is Impex®, which is able to withstand repeated impact and is considered to be over 200 times stronger than glass. Impex® is UV protected on both sides (with the exception of 1mm and 1.5mm) and is suitable for use as a window or skylight. It has a B-s1, d0 fire classification to EN 13501-1 (from 1.5mm up to 6mm) and has the highest operating temperature of any of the polycarbonates in our range.
Polycarbonate sheet can be machined, formed, welded and bonded and is commonly fabricated into machine guards, protective screen barriers, or CNC cut into bespoke profiles. At PAR, we offer a plastic fabrication service and can manufacture parts to your exact specifications from dimensional drawings or from samples.
Polycarbonate sheet is available to buy online at PAR Direct. Please follow the links below for more information on each individual grade or click the 'buy online' button above. Polycarbonate rod and tube are also available.
Please note: Other brands such as Paltuf® and Palsun® are also available upon request.

Manufactured from a high-quality resin with a K12 diagonal female prism surface. Polycarbonate prismatic diffuser panels are designed for use with fluorescent lighting in indoor workspaces and help to reduce glare. The panels are easy to install and can be cut to suit your specific requirements. Temperature range of -50°C up to +100°C.
This non-optic engineering grade of polycarbonate offers a high impact strength and good dimensional stability. It’s ideal for an application where its technical ability would be more beneficial than its aesthetics. Temperature range of -40°C up to +115°C in the long term and short term up to +140°C.
Manufactured as a cellular structure featuring two walls and connective ribbing. Often used in construction applications due to it being lightweight, while still offering high impact strength and UV resistance making it a good option for indoor and outdoor use. Temperature range of -50°C up to +100°C.
A flat, solid sheet with an embossed surface and a printed-on heritage wire look. It offers high-impact strength, transparency and excellent UV resistance. It is more durable and lightweight when compared to Georgian wire glass, making it a cost-effective alternative. Temperature range of -50°C up to +100°C.
It has a structure made up of layers which help provide strength against ballistic and physical impact. It is lightweight and shatter/spall resistant making it ideal for use in security glazing applications. It has an abrasion-resistant coating which helps to preserve good optical quality. Temperature range of -75°C up to +100°C.
