Polycarbonate is not acrylic, it is commonly known as Lexan. Much different properties than acrylic, a bit trickier to cut and machine, but it can be glued with Weld-On #16. It is a lot stronger than acrylic for shatter resistance, but it is softer and will scratch much more easily. Also has less structural ridgidity. What are you planning to use it for?
