Polycarbonate

policarbonato-big_3

Compact polycarbonate (PC) is a transparent thermoplastic material that provides an optimal combination of unparalleled features: strength, transparency, lightness, flexibility, heat and flame resistance, a long life and safety.

Versatile and highly workable, it is produced in sheets of various thicknesses. Given its excellent impact resistance, it is perfect for use in security windows and safety guards.

Cellular polycarbonate is a specific type of PC, offered in double or triple-layer sheets that provide excellent thermal insulation and are noted for their light weight. Sheets can be both cut and cold bent and are suitable for external coverings.

Features
Compact polycarbonate is sold in sheets from 1 to 15 mm thick, in transparent, translucent and smoky, grey or brown versions. Highly workable, PC sheets can be cut, milled or bent to form panels or safety guards.

LPT is the BayerTM distributor of the Piedmont and, for its Makrolon® brand, guarantees the use of high quality sheets that are created from the best raw materials.

Compact and cellular sheets

COMPACT SHEETS

Compact polycarbonate sheets, thanks to their high transparency and the smoothness of their surfaces, are suitable for a wide variety of applications. They posses an extremely high impact strength, which is guaranteed to a temperature of 100 degrees. This impact resistance makes them optimal for use in high-risk areas such as security windows, cantilever-roof panels, unbreakable containers or safety guards.

CELLULAR SHEETS

Cellular polycarbonate sheets, thanks to a low specific weight, are light and can be installed on simple supports. They possess elevated thermal insulation capabilities, are impact resistant and, thanks to a protective UV layer applied to their external surfaces, are highly weather resistant.
Thanks to their extreme impact resistance, cellular polycarbonate sheets are particularly suitable for covering patios, winter gardens, greenhouses, barrel vaults and verandas.
