Usa Industrials BULK-PS-PC-305 Polycarbonate Sheet 1/4 in

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-PC-305 is a clear polycarbonate plastic sheet designed for fabrication, shielding, and structural panel applications across industrial and trade environments. Measuring 0.25 inches thick, 8 inches wide, and 4 feet long, this sheet delivers a tensile strength of 9,000 psi with a Rockwell hardness rating of 120 HRR. Polycarbonate is a high-impact thermoplastic that resists shattering and holds dimensional stability across a wide service temperature range. Fabricators, maintenance technicians, and general contractors typically work with this material for machine guards, sight windows, and protective enclosures.

This sheet is suited for both light commercial and industrial settings where impact resistance and optical clarity are required. Common applications include machine guarding, electrical enclosure panels, HVAC equipment sight windows, and custom fabrication projects. The clear finish allows visual inspection of enclosed equipment without disassembly. At 4.13 pounds per sheet, it is manageable for single-technician handling and can be cut, drilled, and routed with standard shop tooling.

Key Features

• Polycarbonate construction provides high impact resistance and optical clarity
• 9,000 psi tensile strength suits structural and shielding applications
• Rockwell hardness of 120 HRR resists surface deformation under load
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 240 degrees F supports diverse service environments
• 0.25 inch thickness offers a balance of rigidity and workability for fabrication
• Clear finish enables visual access to enclosed systems without panel removal

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose polycarbonate sheet for fabrication, machine guarding, and protective panel applications in industrial and commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Cut, drill, and route polycarbonate with sharp carbide-tipped tooling to prevent cracking or chipping along edges. Remove protective masking film only after final cuts are made to reduce surface scratching. When mounting as a machine guard or enclosure panel, follow applicable OSHA machine guarding standards and local building codes for fastener spacing and edge support. Allow for thermal expansion clearance when fastening into fixed frames, as polycarbonate expands and contracts with temperature changes.
