What is a Polycarbonate Solid Sheet (PC Solid Sheet)?
Polycarbonate Solid Sheet, commonly known as "Endurance Sheet", is a high-strength, light-transmitting engineering plastic sheet extruded from high-performance polycarbonate (PC) resin. Its core positioning is "a safe alternative to glass and a performance upgrade from ordinary plastic sheets".
I. Core Definition & Material Properties
Base material: Food-grade/industrial-grade polycarbonate resin, free of harmful substances like BPA, complying with international safety standards such as FDA and CE.
Form: Single-layer solid structure, different from hollow PC sheets (sun sheets). Thickness typically ranges from 1.5mm to 20mm, customizable on demand.
Core physical properties: Density is only 1/2 of glass; impact resistance is 200-300 times that of tempered glass and 10 times that of acrylic sheets, known as "unbreakable glass".
II. Key Core Advantages
Superior Weather Resistance: Surface can be coated with UV-resistant layer, withstanding extreme temperatures from -40℃ to 120℃. It won’t yellow or become brittle after long-term outdoor use, with a service life of 10-15 years.
High Light Transmittance: Transmittance reaches 85%-92% (close to ordinary glass), with soft and non-glaring light. It filters harmful UV rays to prevent indoor items from fading.
Easy Processing & Installation: Can be bent, cut, drilled, and thermoformed to fit curved or special-shaped structures. Lightweight, no heavy equipment required for installation, ensuring high construction efficiency.
Safety & Environmental Friendliness: High toughness, not easy to break and splash when impacted, with no potential safety hazards. Recyclable, meeting green and low-carbon requirements.
III. Common Specifications & Differentiating Features
Regular widths: 1.22m, 1.56m, 1.82m, 2.1m (maximum customizable width up to 3m); length can be cut on demand.
Colors: Transparent, milky white, lake blue, grass green, etc. (transparent is the mainstream; colored versions offer both light-shielding and decorative effects).
Differences from similar sheets: More impact-resistant and yellowing-resistant than acrylic sheets; lighter and safer than glass; more pressure-resistant than hollow PC sheets, suitable for load-bearing scenarios.
IV. Typical Application Scenarios (Brief)
Covers construction, industry, transportation, commerce and other fields, such as skylights, canopies, machine guards, advertising light box panels, balcony railings, etc. Detailed application scope has been listed previously, so it is not repeated here.
