Description
Save 50% in weight!
These windshields come slightly oversized and must be trimmed to fit. Advantages of our LEXAN® windows:
- Lexan is extremely shatterproof.
- Race Lexan has excellent optical clarity.
- Lexan is highly scratch-resistant.
- 50% lighter than glass.
LEXAN® coated sheet is a two-sided hard-coated polycarbonate material that offers excellent impact resistance, optical clarity, and abrasion resistance. LEXAN® coated sheet is ideal for many functional parts requiring exceptional toughness and surface hardness.
Weight savings: Using LEXAN® provides substantial weight reduction compared to ordinary glass. For example, a 1/4″ thick square foot of LEXAN® weighs 1.56 lbs, compared to 3.2 lbs for glass. Further weight savings can be achieved because a thinner LEXAN® sheet may be used (e.g., a 1/8″ window can replace a 3/16″ thick glass application).
Safety considerations favor polycarbonate over glass. Glass is brittle, while LEXAN® has proven to be a much better impact-absorbent material. LEXAN® polycarbonate sheet offers the highest impact strength of any transparent glazing product—250 times that of glass and 30 times that of acrylic.
Endorsed by sanctioning bodies: Many sanctioning bodies have approved the use of polycarbonate products, with more switching each season. These authorities have studied and evaluated the suitability of polycarbonates and support their use. Sanctioning bodies permitting polycarbonate windows include NHRA, IHRA, NASCAR, SCCA, ARCA, CART, and many others. Please check with your sanctioning body for updates to the rules for your class or series.
