💡 Fabricators & architects: choose the polycarbonate that solves your project problems, not just the cheapest sheet.

Polycarbonate delivers performance where it matters: strength, lightness, durability and ease of fabrication.

Here’s why it’s specified again and again:
🔹 Tough & safe: Up to 250× stronger than glass, ideal for vandal-resistant glazing and protective screens.
🔹 Lightweight: Easier handling, faster installs and reduced structural load compared to glass.
🔹 UV-stable options: Products like Exolon UV and Marlon FSX prevent yellowing and reduce long-term maintenance.
🔹 Surface protection: Need scratch, chemical or anti-graffiti performance? Exolon AR and Lexan Margard MR5E are hard-coated to keep surfaces looking new.
🔹 Fabricator friendly: Cut, drill, cold-bend or thermoform; even screen print! Polycarbonate is easy to process.
🔹 Sustainable & compliant: Eco grades use reclaimed content; fire-rated options exist for regulated environments.

PETG: The Fabricator’s Sweet Spot Between Acrylic and Polycarbonate

When you’re balancing performance, cost, and process efficiency, choosing the right sheet material matters, especially when you're on tight deadlines or complex jobs.

That’s where PETG stands out.

It offers the formability of acrylic with added durability, and comes close to polycarbonate strength, making it an attractive middle ground.

Why fabricators like PETG:
🔹 Faster forming: No pre-drying needed and lower temp forming = faster cycle times. Can be cold bent.
🔹 Easier to machine: Cuts cleanly, bends well, can be laser cut
🔹 Tougher than acrylic: ~150x stronger than glass (vs acrylic’s ~30x)
🔹 Cost-effective alternative to polycarbonate: Great for protective screens, POS, and glazing
🔹 Print-ready: No surface prep for UV, screen, or digital printing
🔹 Compliant: Food-safe and rated B-s1, d0 to European standard EN13501-1
🔹 100% recyclable: Plus, recycled-content grades available from trusted brands

Whether you're vacuum forming, routing, printing, or building displays — PETG helps reduce waste, speed up production, and keep customers happy.
