Gill, I agree with most of what you said except that Plexiglass is the brand name for Acrylic with other manufacturers making Acrylic as well. Lexan is GE's brand name for their Polycarbonate, Mobay and Dow have their brands of Polycarbonate as well. Don Formanek -- Gill Ediger

Bob, Polycarbonate is used for bullet proofing but 1/4 thick would only stop small caliber bullets with lower velocities like 22 and 25 caliber. Many times for applications like bullet proofing they will make a laminate of several different materials. Don Formanek -- Bob West
