What is stronger polycarbonate or Lexan?
If you're looking for a sturdier component, a Polycarbonate sheet has more strength when compared to Plexiglas. In comparison to glass, while Plexiglass is 17 times more resistant, Lexan is 250 times more resistant.
Which is better Plexiglass or Lexan?
Overall Strength Lexan is the strongest and can withstand impacts to such a degree that it won't crack. Instead, it displays resistance by bending. Plexiglass is still quite strong, but it may crack or chip, given enough time or impact. That's because it's a little less rigid than Lexan.
Can you drill holes in polycarbonate?
You can use an ordinary iron drill or HSS drill bit to drill holes in polycarbonate. Position the drill perpendicular to the polycarbonate and run the drill at medium speed immediately. Don't use too much pressure but let the drill do the work. It's important to use a drill that is not brand new but is still sharp.
