Polycarbonate is a shatterproof plastic shield
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Glass is great until you drop it, so chemistry provided a material that simply refuses to break. Polycarbonate relies on complex carbonate groups in its molecular chain, giving it immense impact resistance. It will dent, scratch, and warp, but it absolutely will not shatter, making it the perfect material for riot shields and thick eyeglasses.
