polycarbonate
Tough transparent thermoplastic
Polycarbonate is a strong, transparent plastic used where durability and clarity matter.
It appears in eyeglass lenses, safety goggles, phone cases, and bulletproof windows.
The material resists impact far better than glass or ordinary plastic, making it ideal for protective applications.
The riot shields were made of polycarbonate.
Unlike glass, polycarbonate can be molded into complex shapes while remaining lightweight and shatter-resistant.
