The main properties of polycarbonate sheets make it the ideal material for many kinds of building applications. Their light weight make them easy to install while their high impact resistance make them a durable option. This durability combined with transparency also make polycarbonate sheets an excellent alternative to glass, especially combined with their capacity for UV filtration. Polycarbonate sheeting has excellent flame retardant properties, making polycarbonate sheets the strong, safe, and sustainable option for construction needs.
Polycarbonate plays a significant role in industrial processes and applications. Solid polycarbonate sheets are frequently employed as machine guard windows due to their impact strength and shatter resistance. These properties also make them ideal for using in police riot shields and helmet visors. Coated solid sheets are also used in chemically corrosive environments and thanks to its insulating and flame retardant properties can be used to cover electronic control panels.
Polycarbonate sheets are always used in signs and displays as they are easily thermoformed and printed on. Their rigidity and shatter resistance ensure a long life and also make them ideal for glazing posters and billboards. Thanks to these properties polycarbonate sheets have been used in a variety of creative design installations, further proving the versatility of this material.
Polycarbonate sheets resist UV rays, maintain sufficient light
YUYANG Polycarbonate Sheet Company has occupied a leading position in domestic market, and is striving for opening up a new market abroad. Our company has introduced the advanced production lines and use high-quality raw polycarbonate material and UV-resistant material. Our products are mainly focused on solid polycarbonate sheet (polycarbonate panels) and hollow polycarbonate sheet such as multiwall and twin-wall polycarbonate sheet. They can be found in many applications like greenhouses, roofing sheet and sound-insulation barrier.
Polycarbonate sheet is generally replacing glass, toughened glass and polyethylene membrane in many fields such as agriculture, industry, public buildings and ornaments. It is a perfect combination of lightweight, high impact strength, light transmission, frame-resistance, UV protection, anti-drop as well as charming appearance.
Why select polycarbonate sheets?
Polycarbonate sheet is generally replacing glass, toughened glass and polyethylene membrane in many fields such as agriculture, industry, public buildings and ornaments. It is a perfect combination of lightweight, high impact strength, light transmission, frame-resistance, UV protection, anti-drop as well as charming appearance.
Clear polycarbonate sheet is as transparent as glass, but weighs only a half. Lightweight makes it very easy to transport and install.
Polycarbonate sheets, especially solid polycarbonate sheets, such as embossed and frosted sheets, have extremely high impact strength. According to test data, impact strength of polycarbonate sheet is about 200 times higher than the common glass, and 2 to 20 times the tempering glass. They are quite suitable for places where has a high potentiality of encountering hail, high wind and storm rain.
Sufficient light is an essential element of the greenhouse. Common glass and polyethylene are easy to produce water drops on the surface, which severely reduces light transmission and hinders plant growth. After special treatment, condensation will not produce on the interior surface of polycarbonate sheet.
Where is polycarbonate sheet used in?
Versatile polycarbonate sheets have a big family. For surface corrugations, smooth, embossed and frosted surfaces are manufactured. Smooth surface is for high light transmission, embossed and frosted are mainly used in decorating properties and buildings and create a comfortable and attractive view to dull life.
For constructions, both solid and hollow sheets are widely used all around the world. The prominent differences between solid and hollow sheets are light transmission and impact strength. Solid sheets are much stronger than hollow ones, but inferior to hollow sheet in thermal insulation. Hence, solid sheets are widely used in lighting, skylight, helmets. Hollow sheets are relatively cheap. They are also widely used in greenhouses and shop malls.
What is the difference between hollow and solid sheets?
· Construction
Solid polycarbonate sheet is single solid layer, while hollow sheet has at least two walls.
· Thermal insulation
Hollow polycarbonate or multiwall sheet is superior to solid sheet in thermal insulation for it traps air in its hollow structure as an excellent thermal barrier.
· Light transmission
Multiwall polycarbonate sheet is not as good as solid sheet.
· Weight
Solid sheet is heavier than hollow sheet.

pc sheet CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
According to correct procedure, suitable cleanser and tools are used to clean the sheets regularly. It could keep the sheets graceful and extend the sheets’ useful life:
1. Rinse sheet with lukewarm water (under 60°C)
2. Please choose cleanly and soft cloth or sponge with neutral liquid soap or detergent to clean the dirt on the surface lightly
3. Rinse sheet once again
4. The soft cloth with anhydrous alcohol could be used for cleaning, if oil, wet paint, glue spotting and other things are on the sheet.
5. Rinse with cold water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spotting after cleaning.
Recommendation of using solvent for cleaning
Absolute alcohol, Petroleum ether, Hexane
NOTICE
Steel wool, brushes and other crude material are not allowed to contact with the PC sheet. Do not use drawknife, razor and other edgy tools to scratch PC hollow sheet.
