Lexan is a brand of highly-durable polycarbonate resin thermoplastic intended to replace glass. It is similar to polymethyl methacrylate (Plexiglas/Lucite) in appearance, but is far more durable, often to the point of being "bulletproof." Lexan is typically used in the aerospace industry for items such as aircraft canopies, windscreens and other windows, but can often be seen in household items, such as bottles. Lexan is manufactured by GE Plastics, a unit of the conglomerate, General Electric.
