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.

Good Weather Resistance: Maintains stable physical properties across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 120°C (and even short-term higher), without becoming brittle. It exhibits good long-term anti-aging performance for outdoor applications.

Chemical Resistance: Resists weak acids, weak alkalis, alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and other chemicals. (Note: Resistance is poor against strong acids, strong alkalis, and some organic solvents.)

Agriculture & Horticulture:

Leveraging thermal insulation and light diffusion properties.

Greenhouses: Modern intelligent greenhouses, eco-restaurant roofs. Multi-wall PC sheets (twin-wall or polycarbonate sheets) offer better insulation than glass and can last over 10 years with UV protection layers to resist aging.

Planting Facilities: Small greenhouse boxes for balconies, plant tissue culture containers.

Industry & Electronics:

Utilizing flame retardancy (some grades reaching V0 rating) and electrical insulation.

Electronics: Mobile phone cases, laptop shells, water dispenser bottles (PC is one of the few plastics approved for food contact), electricity meter boxes.

Industrial Equipment: Machine safety guards, soundproof barriers, riot shields, helmet visors (police riot shields, motorcycle helmet visors).

Q:What is the lifespan of a PC sheet?

A: The lifespan is primarily determined by the quality of its co-extruded UV protective layer. High-quality PC sheets come with a UV-blocking coating on one or both sides.

Sheets with a 10-year warranty typically last 10-15 years or more before noticeable yellowing or brittleness occurs.

Sheets with a 5-year warranty have a shorter expected lifespan.

Unprotected PC sheet will degrade quickly (yellow and become brittle) under direct UV exposure.

Q: Is Polycarbonate fire-resistant?
A: Polycarbonate is inherently a self-extinguishing material. Standard PC sheets typically carry a UL94 Flammability Rating of V-2, and specific grades can achieve a higher V-0 rating. It will melt and deform under extreme heat but does not support combustion easily and will stop burning once the flame source is removed. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact fire rating.
