What is a polycarbonate cutting board?

Polycarbonate is a material similar to acrylic. It is a thinner and lighter alternative to plastic. Polycarbonate is also impact resistant and because it is a tougher material, it tends to be more scratch resistant as well. Polycarbonate cutting boards are good, because of the impact resistance. It's also good because it is nonporous, and cleans easier. Because of the nonporous surface, it does not harbor bacteria. Most polycarb cutting boards are treated with an antibacterial agent.
