Polycarbonate film is a transparent, lightweight material with exceptional optical clarity and toughness. It has great resistance to heat, impacts, and chemicals, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. Polycarbonate film's flexibility allows it to bend without cracking or breaking, while its excellent formability allows for easy molding, thermoforming, and die-cutting into complex shapes. Polycarbonate film is transparent and paintable on either side, enabling the creation of custom designs that are protected from impacts and scratches.

Polycarbonate film's properties make it a preferred material across a wide variety of industries and applications, including automotive displays, electronics, signage, packaging, and more. Its paintability and transparency make it a flexible alternative to wood for signage and displays. In RC car bodies, the film's impact resistance and flexibility enhance the vehicle's durability on rough terrain and improve maneuverability around sharp turns.

As a transparent material with electrical insulating properties, polycarbonate film is used in the automotive industry for dashboard displays and instrument panels. Outside of the automotive and signage industries, polycarbonate film is also suited for use in industrial applications like membrane switches, nameplates, decals, packaging, face shields, keypads, ID cards, and printed circuit board substrates.
