Frequently Asked Questions
Can this black polycarbonate sheet be used outdoors?
Yes, the sheet includes UV protection, making it suitable for outdoor use. The UV-stabilised formulation helps resist yellowing and surface degradation, supporting a longer service life when exposed to sunlight.
How can I cut and drill the polycarbonate sheet?
The sheet can be cut and drilled using standard woodworking or metalworking tools with fine-toothed blades and sharp drill bits. Support the sheet well, use moderate feed rates and avoid excessive heat build-up to achieve clean cuts and minimise the risk of edge damage.
Is the sheet fully opaque, and will it block light?
In its black finish, the sheet is effectively opaque under normal conditions and provides strong light blocking and privacy. It is well suited to applications where visibility needs to be reduced or eliminated, such as machine guards, covers and privacy panels.
