Polycarbonate (PC)
Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance engineering plastic known for its exceptional impact strength, optical clarity and dimensional stability.
At Specs Advanced Material Sdn. Bhd., we supply quality polycarbonate sheets for industrial, construction and engineering applications. Our team can recommend the most suitable grade based on your application requirements.
Typical Applications
• Machine guards
• Safety glazing
• Equipment covers
• Electrical insulation
• Industrial windows
• Protective barriers
• Signage
• Fabricated components

- Material Selection
- Difference between Acrylic and Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate combines outstanding impact resistance with excellent transparency, making it an ideal choice for applications where safety and visibility are equally important.
Compared with acrylic (PMMA), polycarbonate offers significantly higher impact resistance while maintaining good optical clarity.
Selected grades are also available with UV protection and anti-static (ESD) properties for specialised industrial applications.
- Outstanding impact resistance
- Excellent optical clarity
- Lightweight compared with glass
- Good dimensional stability
- Excellent machinability
- Thermoformable
- Excellent electrical insulation
- UV-resistant grades available
- Machine safety guards
- Protective covers
- Sight windows
- Electrical enclosures
- Cleanroom equipment
- Industrial fabrication
- Security glazing
- Equipment shields
We supply a range of polycarbonate products, including:
- Clear PC Sheet
- UV-Protected PC Sheet
- PC ESD Sheet
- Bronze Tinted PC Sheet (subject to availability)
Selecting the right polycarbonate grade depends on factors such as:
- Indoor or outdoor use
- UV exposure
- Optical clarity requirements
- Fabrication method
- Operating environment
| Acrylic (PMMA) | Polycarbonate (PC) |
| Better optical clarity | Higher impact resistance |
| Better scratch resistance | Better toughness |
| Lower cost | Higher performance |
| More brittle | Virtually unbreakable under normal use |
Our technical team is ready to recommend the most suitable material for your application.
