PC Profiles & Tubes

Polycarbonate Profiles & Tubes: Custom Extrusion for Demanding Applications

Polycarbonate (PC) is the material of choice when you need exceptional impact resistance, optical clarity, and heat performance in one package. We specialize in custom-extruded PC profiles and tubes—from transparent lighting covers and machine guards to pressure-capable tubing and structural glazing components. With in-house tooling, color matching, and precise downstream calibration, we deliver parts that fit and perform right out of the box.

Why Polycarbonate?

Extreme impact resistance: PC absorbs shocks that crack acrylic or PVC, ideal for safety and industrial environments.
Optical clarity: High light transmission with excellent dimensional stability—perfect for LED diffusers, signage, and glazing.
Heat performance: Reliable mechanical properties across a wide temperature window; suitable for warm environments and intermittent heat exposure.
Flame behavior: Grades available to meet UL-94 requirements (e.g., V-2 or V-0) for applications with strict fire safety needs.
UV & weatherability: UV-stabilized and co-extruded cap layers help maintain clarity and color outdoors.
Process versatility: Accepts colors, diffusers, matte/anti-glare textures, and anti-scratch finishes; supports tight-tolerance extrusions and post-processing.

What We Extrude

Custom PC profiles:
- Solid and hollow-chamber profiles (H, U, L, T, multi-cell)
- Edge trims, glazing beads, cable raceways, corner guards
- Diffusive and micro-textured light covers for consistent lumen output
PC tubes (round/oval/rectangular):
- Clear and frosted tubing
- Pressure-capable and instrument tubing (wall thickness tailored to duty)
- Coil-cut or precision-cut lengths

Typical options: color matching (clear, opal, smoke, custom RAL), UV-cap, flame-retardant grades, anti-scratch surface, co-extruded diffuser layers, laser-markable compounds.

Typical Applications

Lighting: LED diffusers, lens covers, linear luminaires
Safety & machines: Guards, shields, covers, conveyor guides
Construction & glazing: Edge trims, connectors, drip rails, façade details
Fluid handling: Clear sight tubes, instrument and lab tubing
Transportation & marine: Impact-resistant trims, protective profiles
