Sunglasses. Compact discs. Bulletproof windows. What do they all have in common? They’re all made from polycarbonate.

Min Plastics & Supply in Honolulu has been providing plastic products, such as polycarbonate, to Hawaii since 1950. Whether you want safety windows for your facility or machine guards to protect yourself, polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable and is only half the weight of glass.

What are some common uses for polycarbonate?

• Half the weight of glass and 200 times stronger than glass, polycarbonate is used in areas of heavy use requiring security protection such as teller windows, secure facilities
• 30 times stronger than acrylic, used as windshields and windows for golf carts, boats, buses and other vehicles that need to have maximum impact protection.
• Acts as a safety shield in industrial areas or when working with machinery

Polycarbonate is available in different thicknesses, colors, textures, and sizes. When you use this durable material, you can be assured that your project will be virtually resistant to breakage.

Min Plastics & Supply is also an HDPE supplier; this is a material that is resistant to chemicals and moisture, making it ideal for food processing and engraving sheets for nameplates and building signs.
