With this abundant lineup, we respond widely to the users’ requirements.

About polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is called a transparent metal, and it is a lightweight and tough transparent material which is easy to form and hard to break when compared to glass. Furthermore, it has better flame retardancy compared to acrylic, and has been widely recognized as a safe material. Like vinyl chloride, there is no concern regarding toxic gas at the time of incineration.

Characteristics

  • High shock resistance
    • About 200 times higher than glass of the same thickness, and about 30 times higher than acrylic
  • Lightweight
  • Flame retardancy
    • Flames naturally go out when moved away from a flame source, and there is less concern over toxic gas compared to plastics
  • Easy processing and forming
    • Cutting, drilling, and notching are easy, while cold forming which bends with heat forming and at normal temperatures is also possible.
  • Wide range of working temperature
    • From -40℃ to +125℃ (from 0℃ to 90℃ for acrylic)

Support short delivery time and free cut

Main types of sheets are regularly in stock with a large plate dimension of 2000mm×4000mm, and we cut as required in a short delivery time, and deliver to the specified location for one sheet or more.

Wide range of products

The plate thickness is from 0.1mm to 15mm and color variation is the top in the field. We also have a lineup of high functional products with various coatings applied at our own facility, and having high weather resistance and improved excoriation resistance.
