What is a polycarbonate sheet

Polycarbonate sheet is also called PC sheet, and capron sheet. It is resistant to weak acid and is made of polycarbonate as the main component by co-extrusion technology CO-EXTRUSION. It shows that PC sheet is resistant to neutral oil, not resistant to strong acid, not durable, not resistant to alkali, and needs to be coated with UV. PC sheet generally refers to PC sun sheet and PC endurance sheet, PC corrugated tile and PC lighting tile and PC synthetic resin tile. Sun sheet is a hollow multi-layer or double-layer lock PC sun sheet structure. Endurance sheet is a solid sheet.

Polycarbonate sheet is widely used to replace glass, tempered glass and polyethylene film in many fields such as agriculture, industry, public buildings, decorations, etc. It is a perfect combination of lightweight, high impact strength, light transmittance, frame resistance, UV protection, fall protection and charming appearance.

 

Characteristics of Polycarbonate Sheet

Transparent polycarbonate sheet is as transparent as glass, but only half the weight. Lightweight makes it easy to transport and install. Polycarbonate sheets, especially polycarbonate endurance sheets, such as embossed and frosted sheets, have extremely high impact strength. According to test data, the impact strength of polycarbonate sheets is better than that of ordinary glass. It is suitable for areas with high potential for hail, high winds, and storms.

Adequate light is an essential element of a greenhouse. Ordinary glass and polyethylene can easily produce water droplets on the surface, which seriously reduces the transmission of light and hinders the growth of plants. After special treatment, the inner surface of the polycarbonate sheet is not easy to produce condensation.

conclusion

Both solid endurance sheets and hollow sun panels are widely used in the world. The significant difference between solid endurance sheets and hollow sun panels is light transmittance and impact strength. Solid panels are much stronger than hollow panels, but not as good as hollow panels in terms of heat insulation. Therefore, endurance panels are widely used in lighting, skylights, and helmets. Sun panels are relatively cheap, and they are also widely used in greenhouses and shops.
