Professional Plastics SPCCL.062X48.000X48.000FM Polycarbonate Sheet

Product Description

The PROFESSIONAL PLASTICS SPCCL.062X48.000X48.000FM is a clear polycarbonate plastic sheet measuring 48 inches by 48 inches with a thickness of 0.0625 inches (1/16 inch). The sheet ships with a protective film backing on the surface. With a tensile strength of 9,000 psi and a Rockwell hardness rating of R-120, it offers solid impact and load resistance for light-duty fabrication work. The operating temperature range spans from 40 degrees F to 180 degrees F, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Fabricators, glaziers, and general contractors are the typical end users for this material.

This polycarbonate sheet is rated for outdoor use and performs well in applications such as machine guards, protective glazing panels, display cases, and enclosure windows. The 48 by 48 inch format cuts to common framing dimensions with standard shop tools. The film backing protects the clear surface during handling, transport, and fabrication. At 0.0625 inches thick, this sheet is best suited for light-duty glazing, diffuser panels, and secondary glazing installations rather than structural or high-impact applications.

Compatibility

This item replaces MSC part number 96178033. Designed as a standard-format polycarbonate sheet suitable for general fabrication, glazing, and panel replacement applications where a clear, film-backed sheet of this thickness and size is specified.

Installation Notes

Polycarbonate sheet is typically worked by fabricators and glaziers using fine-tooth saw blades or scoring tools rated for thermoplastic materials. Remove the protective film only after cutting and positioning are complete to avoid surface scratches. Pre-drill holes to prevent cracking at fastener points, as polycarbonate does not self-relieve stress the way acrylic does. Follow applicable local building codes when using polycarbonate as a glazing material in occupied structures.
