Polycarbonate Extrusion
Vidon Plastics manufactures custom polycarbonate and acrylic extrusions for a wide range of applications that demand clarity, impact strength, and environmental durability. With decades of experience in specialty plastic extrusion, we offer high-performance, transparent, and translucent profiles that maintain structural integrity in even the most demanding environments.
From protective covers and lighting lenses to structural glazing and display components, our extrusion capabilities allow us to deliver precision-formed, optically clear profiles with consistent quality.
The Material Advantages of Extruded Polycarbonate
These two transparent thermoplastics each offer distinct advantages depending on your application:
Polycarbonate (PC)
- Exceptional impact resistance – up to 250x stronger than glass
- High heat resistance and dimensional stability
- UV-stabilized grades available for outdoor use
- Ideal for protective shields, enclosures, and structural components
Acrylic (PMMA)
- Superior optical clarity and gloss
- Excellent UV resistance and weatherability
- Lightweight and easy to fabricate
- Commonly used in signage, lighting, and decorative applications
Precision Polycarbonate Extrusions in Clear, Tinted, or Frosted Finishes
Our acrylic extrusion lines are optimized for producing consistent wall thickness, tight tolerances, and smooth finishes. We can also produce clear, frosted, or custom-tinted polycarbonate extrusions to achieve the unique aesthetics your designs may require.
- Clear, frosted, or tinted options
- Diffused and high-transmission lighting lenses
- UV-resistant or flame-retardant grades for high-temperature lighting and other thermal applications
Acrylic Extrusions Manufactured
for Your Industry
Vidon’s polycarbonate and acrylic extrusions are trusted in a range of industries where appearance, durability, and safety are critical:
Architectural and Construction
- We commonly use polycarbonate sheets for manufacturing skylights, greenhouses, and roofing components, as well as wall panels due to excellent insulation and impact resistance.
- Our customers often use polycarbonate glazing panels as a lightweight, shatterproof alternative to glass in windows, facades, and partitions.
- Many of our customers require polycarbonate roofing panels in corrugated or ribbed designs for reliable durability and weather resistance.
- Vidon manufactures transparent soundproof polycarbonate panels installed along highways or in urban construction zones for worker safety.
- We produce acrylic shelving and polycarbonate dividers designed to be durable and impact-resistant for retail environments.
- Other specialized protective retail barriers, such as sneeze guards and transaction shields, often require transparent or translucent acrylics.
- Many of Vidon’s customers require point-of-purchase (POP) display units and related signage.
- Light diffusing panels are used in display fixtures to create comfortable, attractive product lighting.
- Extruded light diffusers used in lenses and covers, especially for LED and fluorescent lighting.
- Protective and/or decorative light enclosures for both indoor and outdoor installations.
- Electrical insulation panels and housings are used as durable, reliable non-conductive barriers for electronics.
- Acrylic switchgear panels and instrument enclosures used in factories and industrial environments.
- Headlamp and taillight lenses are manufactured from clear extruded polycarbonate to create impact-resistant lighting for vehicles.
- Automotive interior trim components such as dashboard screens and instrument panels.
- Shatter-resistant windows and partitions for buses, trains, and other commercial transportation uses.
- Protective shields are commonly installed on motorcycles, ATVs, and off-road recreational vehicles.
