Matt,

You are very correct.

GE Plastics invented polycarbonate back in 1963 (Dan Fox), and their version is called LEXAN.

There are other types of polycarbonate, and all are legal.

Sheffield Plastics = HYZOD
Westlake Plastics = ZELUX
Ato Haas N. America = TUFFAK (this may be a glazing, I dunno)
Ensinger = ENSICAR
GE Plastics = LEXAN

Andy B.
