Polycarbonate is more flexible and impact resistant than acrylic. It has a Class 1 fire rating in certain thicknesses, making it suitable for use when fire code restrictions are severe. Use polycarbonate when very thin material is needed, when flame spread ratings are a stated concern, or when highly flexible material is needed for cold-formed curved installations. Polycarbonate is not available in thicknesses greater than 1/2" without lamination. Even thick polycarbonate panels are very flexible; for options on adequate support, call for advice.
