A brief history on a Lexan sheet can be found through the founders and creators of the product. General Electric (GE) in 1960 formulated and branded Lexan and pioneered the production and development but teamed up with Bayer, which also used the material under a different name since 1958. Together they kept the product's name as "Lexan," and it has been cross-licensed ever since. Lexan is an item used in many products people may not be aware. Bulletproof glass, kitchenware, headlamps, and yes, even DVDs are made with Lexan. When people find out Lexan can create something that can stop a bullet and also as fragile as a DVD, they wonder how this can be. It is all within the development and the chemical makeup of Lexan. We are proud to offer Lexan sheets to the public and businesses for the customer's needs. It is a widely used product and is one of the hottest selling items from our inventory.

MAIN PROPERTIES OF MONOLITHIC SHEETS

Monolithic sheets is a material with an excellent combination of physical and mechanical properties, which are retained under various temperature conditions and humidity levels.
 

Polycarbonate sheets are an ideal replacement for traditional glazing materials. They are safe and easy to cut, install and use, almost impossible to break. Due to their low specific weight, polycarbonate sheets can significantly lighten and reduce the cost of the supporting structure in comparison with the structure in which glass is used, contributing to a significant reduction in transportation, handling and installation costs.
 

UV protection

Solar radiation has a detrimental effect on polymeric materials, causing their destruction and causing surface cracking of materials. These small cracks are further enlarged by water, dust and chemicals.

Polycarbonate monolithic sheets of this have a surface with an applied protective layer against ultraviolet radiation, which provides excellent resistance to weathering.
 

Arched glazing

All monolithic polycarbonate sheets are cold-formed into curved supporting glazing profiles. Provided that the bending radius of the sheet is greater than the minimum recommended value, the mechanical stress resulting from cold forming will not affect the mechanical properties of the sheet.

The guaranteed service life of the sheets is 15 years.
