Default Identifying plastics

How can I identify what I have? I don't want something that will
shatter with a sharp impact ala a kickback, etc. I understand the
Lexan is good, but the stuff they had there didn't look like it was
over 1/16" and pretty small sheets.


Polycarbonate/lexan will have a darker, usually blue tinted edge as opposed
to a white edge on acrylic. If it's not obvious which you have you may
want to peal back a little of the protective plastic on both sides and take
it out in sunlight to see better.

Either may work for what you need, I don't know.
