FAQ
Frequently asked questions about PC solid sheet
Is PC sheet suitable for machine guards?
Yes. PC offers outstanding impact resistance and good clarity, making it a common choice for equipment guards, safety windows and baffles. Please provide dimensions and mounting details so we can confirm the thickness.
Will PC sheet yellow with age?
Standard PC can be affected by UV in long-term outdoor use. We recommend UV-coated grades, which significantly extend outdoor service life.
Can it be bent or formed into curves?
Yes. Heat bending can produce angled and curved parts; please provide the bending angle, radius and dimensions.
Can thickness and colour be selected?
Various thicknesses and transparent, frosted or coloured finishes are available, subject to requirements and stock.
