Polycarbonate (PC) is a lightweight, durable, impact resistant and flame retardant thermoplastic. This transparent or opaque plastic has an excellent balance of clarity and toughness, which combined with the above characteristics, enables it to satisfy many high-performance demands. Valued for its adaptability, Polycarbonate can be extruded in a variety of sizes both clear and in colors.
Pexco works hard to live up to its proud reputation of being a reliable source for the production of Polycarbonate tubing and profiles. Our technicians are highly trained to produce quality Polycarbonate tubing products, and take pride in being involved with some of the most challenging projects in the world.

Polycarbonate Expertise
Pexco has built a reputation as the extrusion expert when it comes to polycarbonate (PC) materials. Our customers choose PC when superior durability and toughness is required, or when UL requires a flammability rating of V-2, V-1, V-0 or even 5VA. We see PC used in commercial lighting fixtures used in environments such as high moisture, high risk of vandalism, outdoor, gymnasium, sports arenas, and more.
Over the years Pexco has developed various PC blends ideal for these lighting applications. Formulations include various colors, UV resistance, and UL ratings. If you are considering PC for your next extruded product application, look no further than Pexco.
