Engineering & Design Plastics stock a non UV-stable polycarbonate branded PC1000 by Quadrant EPP (previously branded ERTA PC). This product is classed as an "engineering / non-optical" quality or grade; it should not be confused with the polycarbonate glazing sheet. Engineering Polycarbonate is classed as colour natural, this can be misleading, as it is not the same colour as natural nylon or acetal (i.e. white), but has an almost clear translucent colour free quality.
