It is extremely expensive relative to other plastics and heating kills the scratchproofing, making it damage easier than other plastics. Polycarbonate may be bullet proof, but you can scratch it with a feather. It is thermoformable, but not a desirable thermoforming material. Styrene (ABS) polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or Royalworks' acrylic are all better choices.
