Excellent Optical Properties: Features high light transmittance of up to 89%, comparable to glass. When coated with a UV-resistant layer, it effectively blocks ultraviolet light transmission and prevents the sheet from yellowing and hazing due to exposure to sunlight.

Lightweight: Has a low density, only about half that of glass, which reduces transportation, handling, and installation costs, and places less load on supporting structures.

Bendability: Possesses good plasticity and flexibility, allowing for cold-curving at room temperature

Taking advantage of easy processing and uniform light transmission.

Advertising Lightboxes: Subway and bus stop lightbox panels, replacing traditional acrylic (PMMA) for better safety due to shatter resistance.

Signage & Wayfinding: Rooftop illuminated letters, directional signs.

What is the difference between Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylic (PMMA) sheets?

What is the difference between Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylic (PMMA) sheets?
A: This is a common question. Key differences are:

Impact Strength: PC is vastly more impact-resistant and shatterproof than acrylic.

Flexibility: PC is highly flexible (can be cold-curved), while acrylic is rigid and brittle.

Heat Resistance: PC has a higher heat deflection temperature (~120°C / 250°F) than acrylic (~80°C / 176°F).

Surface Hardness: Acrylic has a harder surface and is much more scratch-resistant. Standard PC sheets are prone to scratching without a protective coating.

Cost: PC is typically more expensive than acrylic.
