Transparent/Translucent Polycarbonate plastic, often referred to by the abbreviation PC, is produced in standard stock shapes for machining parts and is extruded in plate (or sheet), and Solid Rods. PC plastic is a thermoplastic characterised by its amorphous structure, offering excellent electrical properties alongside remarkable impact strength and moderate chemical resistance. Its high transparency is attributed to its low crystallinity and amorphous nature. Extruded polycarbonates, classified as machine grade, typically exhibit slight opacity unless subjected to mechanical or chemical polishing processes.

Acrylic is widely employed globally as a substitute for glass owing to its advantageous properties. Compared to glass, acrylic is more flexible, lighter, and stronger, while still maintaining excellent optical clarity, good chemical resistance, and weathering properties. Extruded acrylic is favoured in various applications within the sign and display, and fabrication sectors due to its ease of manipulation. Alternatively, cast acrylic, with superior mechanical properties, is preferred for machining purposes.
