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.

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.

Flame Retardancy: Has a high ignition point and is self-extinguishing upon removal of a flame. It does not produce toxic gases when burning. Its flame retardancy rating can reach Class B1, making it a flame-retardant engineering plastic.

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.)

Electrical Insulation: Serves as an excellent electrical insulator with good dielectric strength.

Ease of Fabrication: Can be easily processed using standard tools for cutting, drilling, and cold bending, facilitating simple installation.

Skylights & Canopies: Parking lot canopies, subway entrances, corridor awnings, swimming pool roofs. PC sheets are safer than glass (shatterproof) and lighter, reducing the load-bearing requirements for steel structures.

Curtain Walls & Partitions: Alternatives to glass curtain walls in shopping malls and office buildings (especially solid sheets or U-lock profiles), as well as privacy partitions and meeting room dividers in offices.

Residential & Commercial Spaces: Balcony enclosures, sunrooms, villa garage doors, indoor luminous ceilings/light boxes, and stair railings.

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.

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.
