PC Optical Profiles

Polycarbonate optical extrusion – prismatic and lens sections for luminaires that need beam control and impact resistance in the same part.

What we supply

Optical profiles are usually acrylic, but there is a class of luminaire where the optical part is also exposed: low-level architectural fittings, transport lighting, public-area luminaires. In those, polycarbonate is the material that survives.

We extrude PC prismatic and lens sections with the surface structure held along the length, and specify UV-stabilised grades where the profile sees daylight.

Options we build into the profile

  • Prismatic structures held accurately along the extruded length
  • UV-stabilised PC for daylight-exposed architectural profiles
  • Flame-retardant grades where the specification requires it
  • Co-extrusion combining a PC body with a PMMA optical layer
  • Glare-controlled surfaces for low-level installations
  • Prototype approval before production tooling release

Frequently Asked Questions

When the optical part is exposed to impact or daylight. PC takes the impact; UV-stabilised grades handle the weathering.
Yes, though acrylic replicates finer detail more easily. We review the geometry and tell you where a PC section needs adjustment.
Yes, and we recommend them wherever the profile is exposed to daylight.
