Polycarbonates are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed.
Strength/Durability
Polycarbonate is 250 times stronger than glass and is virtually indestructible. Because of its impact resistance, polycarbonate is a favorable choice for protection from extreme weather, flying debris, or vandalism.
Light Transmission
Light transmission is the technical term for transparency to light. Acrylic has a 80 - 90 percent light transmittance rate.
Maintenance
Rinse immediately with clean, cold water. Do not apply cleaners in direct sunlight. Never use sharp objects, wipers (squeegees) or razors on polycarbonate. Do not clean with gasoline.
Common Uses
- Room Divider
- Safety Glasses
- Bullet Resistance
- Electronics
- Auto Parts
- Building Applications
- Agriculture

Very good price for a polycarbonate tube of this size and thickness but the listing says CLEAR, and it’s not. I can’t remember the exact wording of the listing but I believe there is a reference to 88% visibility and that’s probably correct. Along with the lack of clarity, there are extrusion lines that are visible, lines that run the length of the tube. If you’re o using this as a candle holder, (which was my intention) and are using it for industrial or commercial use, It will be fine. Sorry I didn’t take a pic before I sent it back. Btw, if you are using it as a candle holder, the glass 12’ x 6” candle holder is cheaper and clearer.
