Polycarbonate Film

Polycarbonate Film from Piedmont Plastics

Polycarbonate film is a tough, lightweight material that’s known for its excellent impact resistance and clarity. It performs well in a wide range of demanding environments, including those with high temperatures. This performance plastic is easy to thermoform, mold, die cut, and laser cut, making it a favorite in industries that require precision and durability.

An extremely versatile material, polycarbonate film is commonly used in PPE face shields, control panels, trade show displays, and instrument panels. Compatible with most ink, polycarbonate film is also ideal for menu boards, labels, and nameplates. Many polycarbonate-film types are also compatible with standard screen and digital printing methods, allowing them to dry quickly at elevated temperatures. Along with its tamper-resistant qualities and light weight, these traits make polycarbonate film a superior choice for ID cards and security tags.

Additionally, polycarbonate film can be formed using hot or cold processes, which enables top-quality printing with standard inks using screen or digital printing. Blended polycarbonate films offer even more flexibility across a variety of uses, including membrane switches and decals.

As a leading performance plastic distributor, Piedmont Plastics offers a wide selection of polycarbonate film in varying grades, textures, and levels of transparency. With locations across North America, we make it easy to get the right product when and where you need it.
