Usa Industrials PS-PC-SR-48 Polycarbonate Sheet 0.5in

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS PS-PC-SR-48 is an abrasion-resistant polycarbonate plastic sheet suited for fabrication, guarding, and general industrial applications. Cut to 12 inches wide by 1 foot long with a 0.5-inch thickness, this sheet offers the impact resistance and optical clarity polycarbonate is known for in a manageable flat-stock format. At approximately 3.1 pounds, it is easy to handle and position for cutting, drilling, or routing on the bench. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople install this material in a wide range of light structural and protective builds.

This polycarbonate sheet is suited for residential and commercial applications where a transparent or translucent barrier, guard panel, or structural insert is required. Common uses include machine guards, inspection windows, electrical enclosure panels, and protective covers. The abrasion-resistant grade makes it appropriate for high-contact surfaces where standard polycarbonate would wear prematurely. Its flat-stock dimensions make it a practical cut-to-fit solution for custom panel work in shops and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Abrasion-resistant grade polycarbonate for extended surface durability in high-contact applications
• 0.5-inch thickness provides substantial rigidity for guard panels and structural inserts
• 12-inch width by 1-foot length delivers a ready-to-use flat-stock piece with minimal waste for small-format jobs
• Lightweight at approximately 3.1 pounds for easy bench handling and positioning
• Machinable with standard shop tools including saws, drills, and routers

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat-stock polycarbonate sheet suitable for fabrication, guarding, and panel replacement applications across industrial and commercial maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Fabricators and maintenance technicians typically cut, drill, and fasten polycarbonate sheet using standard woodworking or metalworking tools with appropriate blade and bit types for plastics. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before installing or replacing any guard panel or enclosure component. Avoid using sharp-edge metal fasteners without washers, as point-loading can crack polycarbonate under stress. Follow applicable facility safety and electrical codes when using polycarbonate as an enclosure or guard material.
