How to Clean Polycarbonate Sheets

Polycarbonate Sheets Cleaning Guidelines

Polycarbonate sheets are not inherently resistant to abrasion. For this reason, you should be careful when cleaning the polycarbonate sheet in order to ensure to not leave any scratches on the surface. Moreover, they are also sensitive to abrasive cleaners.


All polycarbonate manufacturers recommend certain cleaning agents which do not affect the basic chemical structure of the polycarbonate. All the Manufacturers Company share this common guidelines to ensure a longer life to the sheet.

  • Never use a cleaner that contains ammonia and/or any abrasive material since this will only leave the surface of the material with a lot of scratches. Products such as Lysol, Pinesol, Formula 409 will alternate the material and should NOT be used. Mostly of the time a soft cloth and water are enough to blow all the dust and dirt off.
  • Avoid cleaning the surface at high temperature or in direct sunlight.
  • Do not scrub or use brushes otherwise you'll damage the UV-resistant film.
