PALCLEAR® INDUSTRIAL PVC Sheets

Transparent PVC Sheet for Industrial Applications

PALCLEAR IND PVC Sheets are used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial environments including retail stores, healthcare facilities, food service/processing, and manufacturing plants.

These sheets have excellent fire and impact resistance, can be thermoformed, joined with mechanical fasteners, and are easily fabricated using conventional tools.

PALCLEAR IND withstands many chemical agents and industrial cleaners/sanitizers, unlike acrylic and polycarbonate. Plus, PALCLEAR IND has protective film on both sides to help keep it clean and scratch-free during installation.

For the Water-Clear PVC Sheets, see PALCLEAR®.
