When polycarbonate is the safer choice

Choose polycarbonate when impact resistance, safety glazing, machine protection, outdoor durability or forming toughness is more important than scratch resistance.

When acrylic or PETG may fit better

Acrylic is often better for polished displays and optical appearance, while PETG can suit forming projects that need easier processing and moderate toughness.

PolycarbonateBest for impact resistance, safety glazing, guards, roofing, machine windows and formed transparent parts.
AcrylicBest for optical clarity, display parts, signage, polished edges and applications where stiffness and appearance matter.
Engineering plasticsPVC, PETG, ABS and other plastics are used when chemical resistance, forming behavior or cost targets matter more than impact strength.
