Can anyone tell me if there is 1/8" white polycarbonate available with NO UV treatment so I can cut it with my laser?

I don't believe its the UV treatment that is the issue.

... what's your laser? a CO-laser doesn't emit UV and will cut any plastic ... a (blue) 455nm-laserdiode won't cut white/translucent plastic ... a (UV) 405nm-laserdiode didn't have the power to cut 1/8" anyway ...
