Gallina Scudo® Solid Polycarbonate Sheet

Gallina Scudo® is solid, unfilled polycarbonate sheet, supplied without UV co-extrusion, which makes it the economical choice for indoor and short-exposure work. Solid polycarbonate is effectively unbreakable in normal service — notched Izod impact of 17.98 ft-lb/in — while weighing about half what glass of the same thickness weighs, and it transmits 80–91% of visible light depending on gauge. Tensile strength at yield is 60 MPa with a tensile modulus of 2,350 MPa, and the sheet stays serviceable to a Vicat softening point of 295–304°F.

Stocked from 2mm (0.093") through 12mm (0.472"), with U-values from 0.99 down to 0.76 and sound reduction from 25 to 34 dB as the sheet gets thicker. It cold-curves to a published minimum bend radius — 11.81" at 2mm out to 66.93" at 12mm — and machines, drills and thermoforms with ordinary tooling. Typical uses are machine guards, equipment windows, interior partitions, signage and fabricated parts where direct weathering is not a factor. Water absorption is low at 0.15% in 24 hours, and the material is rated UL94 HB with an oxygen index of 26. Panels pair with the aluminium Poli-Lok® system for a concealed-fastener installation.
