4mm vs 6mm vs 10mm vs 16mm vs 25mm Polycarbonate Sheet
Polycarbonate sheet thickness affects panel weight, rigidity, light transmission, bending behavior, machining requirements and structural performance. The correct thickness should therefore be selected according to the finished application rather than by price alone.
| Thickness |
General Purchasing Consideration |
| 4mm |
Relatively lightweight sheet for glazing, covers, signs and fabricated panels where lower thickness is acceptable |
| 6mm |
Additional rigidity for glazing, machine guards, partitions and selected construction applications |
| 10mm |
Greater panel stiffness for larger panels, equipment guards and projects with higher structural requirements |
| 16mm |
Thicker solid panel for applications requiring increased rigidity, mass and impact margin |
| 25mm |
Heavy-duty solid PC sheet for demanding fabricated or protective applications subject to engineering validation |
HSQY also lists thicknesses from 1mm up to 50mm. Availability of every thickness, color and size combination should be confirmed before quotation.
Light Transmission and Optical Clarity
Clear solid polycarbonate is selected for applications requiring visibility and daylight transmission. Optical performance varies with thickness, color, UV layer, surface condition and exact PC grade.
Buyers should not assume that 4mm, 10mm and 25mm sheets have exactly the same light transmission. When optical performance is critical, specify the required transmission, haze, color and approved visual standard before production.
Clear, tinted and opal colors will also provide different levels of light transmission and diffusion, so architectural and greenhouse projects should select color together with thickness.
UV-Protected Polycarbonate Sheet for Outdoor Use
Outdoor glazing requires more than general-purpose transparent polycarbonate. For greenhouse, roofing, facade or exterior-panel projects, buyers should confirm whether the required product includes an appropriate UV-protective layer.
UV protection can be supplied on one side or both sides depending on material grade and application. The protected side must be installed according to the product specification where single-side UV protection is used.
For long-term exterior projects, specify the climate, UV exposure, panel orientation, required warranty or service life and applicable project standard before material approval.
Key Features of Transparent Polycarbonate Sheet
High Impact Strength: Polycarbonate is widely selected where higher impact resistance is required than conventional glazing materials. Exact impact performance should be confirmed from the applicable material data sheet when engineering values are required.
High Transparency: Clear PC provides good light transmission for glazing, protective panels and transparent equipment applications. Actual transmission decreases or changes with thickness, tint and surface specification.
Wide Temperature Capability: The existing HSQY product information lists service performance from approximately -40°C to +120°C. Project-specific temperature limits should be confirmed against the exact PC grade and loading conditions.
Weather Resistance: UV-protected PC grades can be used in suitable exterior applications. Long-term weathering performance depends on UV configuration, climate, installation and sheet grade.
Dimensional Stability: Polycarbonate provides useful dimensional stability for fabricated panels and industrial parts, while thermal expansion should still be allowed for in large glazing installations.
Fabrication Capability: The current HSQY production program includes engraving, bending, cutting, punching, polishing, bonding, thermoforming, UV printing and screen printing.
Polycarbonate Sheet for Greenhouse and Construction
Transparent polycarbonate can be used for selected greenhouse glazing, architectural panels, partitions and other construction applications where daylight transmission and impact resistance are required.
For construction projects, sheet selection should consider thickness, panel dimensions, supporting-frame spacing, wind load, thermal expansion, fixing method, UV exposure and required building standards.
Where thermal insulation is the primary requirement, buyers should also compare solid polycarbonate with multiwall polycarbonate because the two constructions provide different structural and thermal performance.
Polycarbonate Sheet for Machine Guards and Industrial Panels
Solid PC sheet can be used for transparent machine guards, equipment windows, protective covers and industrial panels where operators need visibility together with impact-resistant protection.
For machine-guard applications, provide the required thickness, panel size, impact level, operating temperature, chemical exposure, mounting system and applicable safety standard when requesting a quotation.

The current product specification lists a standard size of 1220 × 2440mm, a maximum width of 1220mm and customizable length.
Which is better: 4mm, 6mm or 10mm polycarbonate?
There is no single best thickness. 4mm provides lower weight, while 6mm and 10mm provide progressively greater panel thickness and rigidity. Selection should be based on panel dimensions, framing, loading, impact requirements and the finished application.
Are 16mm and 25mm sheets solid polycarbonate?
This product description identifies the material as transparent polycarbonate sheet with thicknesses including 16mm and 25mm. Buyers should confirm solid-sheet construction for the exact production order because HSQY also supplies other PC sheet constructions.
Is clear polycarbonate suitable for outdoor use?
Outdoor use requires an appropriate UV-protected PC grade. Confirm whether the required product has one-side or two-side UV protection and verify the outdoor performance requirements before ordering.
Does thicker polycarbonate transmit less light?
Light transmission can vary with thickness, color and material grade. Buyers requiring a defined optical value should request technical data for the specific thickness rather than applying one transparency value to every sheet.
Can polycarbonate sheet be used for greenhouse glazing?
Greenhouse glazing is listed as an application. For exterior greenhouse use, select an appropriate UV-protected PC grade and confirm the required thickness, light transmission, panel support and local structural requirements.
Can solid PC sheet be cold bent?
Suitable solid polycarbonate can be cold curved within the permitted bend radius. The minimum radius depends on sheet thickness and grade, so confirm the technical recommendation before installation.
Can polycarbonate sheet be cut and drilled?
Yes. HSQY lists precision cutting, engraving, punching and other fabrication capabilities. Tooling, feed rate, hole position and edge quality should be matched to sheet thickness and finished-part requirements.
