I have a piece of Lexan acrylic i"m getting rid of. 3/4"x43"x46" would make a good plywood viewing window or???? Good shape with some scuffs not noticeable when wet. Asking 125.00

Is it Lexan or acrylic? Two different things. Lexan is a brand of polycarbonate. If it's polycarbonate it's no good for tank applications, it will yellow over time and is more flexible than acrylic.

Thanks you, Know it all! It's Lexan. 3/4 is not going to flex at this span and for the Yellowing I think they mean in the sun not our low light systems. PM me if interested. Thanks

I would be surprised if it was polycarbonate given that it is bullet resistant at 1/2" thick. That i would guess is acrylic given it's thickness and looking at the edge, polycarb is much darker. And yes polycarb will degrade (usually turn purple) slower with less light but any UV will degrade it eventually.
