Lexan is a trade name as far as I'm aware but it is not just ordinary polycarbonate, its damned near indestructible which is why its used in bus stops etc. I was once asked to try and destroy a piece to demonstrate its toughness, it withstood 15 minutes of battering with a four pound lump hammer. it was badly deformed but didn't break.

Makrolon is made from polycarbonate we used to use it for power press guards its immensely strong and can be bent too.
if you need to bend 180 degrees you prob need to talk to a plastic specialist Ray |

lexan is a trade name for polycarb,it can be bent on a press brake though you might need to over bend it if you want 90 degrees, it also can be punched on a punch press

As Ray say's Makrolon is the dogs bits,the right grade is bullet proof the piece I tried took a .357 magnum and just dented it.
