Polycarbonate VS Acrylic Sheets

In terms of materials, there are obvious differences. The material of PC solid sheet is polycarbonate, while the material of acrylic sheet is polyacrylate.

PC polycarbonate is a kind of flame-resistant material, which is self-extinguishing from fire, while polyacrylate is easy to light, and it is a good way to distinguish it at all;
In terms of performance, the acrylic sheet is relatively brittle, indicating that its resistance to impact is relatively limited; and one of the advantages of the endurance board is its high resistance to resistance, so it is possible to distinguish between acrylic and endurance board just by smashing it hard;

Secondly, the light transmittance of the exterior can also be distinguished. Generally, the light transmittance of the new solid board is very high, and it looks relatively transparent; while the acrylic is a little gray;

Another is that the acrylic board is more prone to aging and has a limited service life, but the endurance board is more durable.

The characteristics of PC solid sheet products have the following two aspects:

(1) Existing like glass.

We often install acrylic boards and PC solid boards to achieve a transparent state. For example, in a greenhouse for flowers or a sun room in our own home, we must be able to see the outdoors clearly from the indoors, if acrylic boards are used. , Maybe the overall transparency is only about 60%. When looking outdoors, it looks like a person with 400 degrees of myopia, with low visibility. However, if the PC endurance board is installed, the transparency of up to 89% allows us to have a clear view of the outside 10 meters or more.
2) Stronger impact resistance.

Whether it is man-made damage or some accidental bumps, damage will occur if the materials we use are not strong. If it is built around the road, such a problem will be more serious, and the use of PC solid sheet will be more than 30 times stronger than the anti-collision ability of the ordinary acrylic sheet, and the high-strength impact resistance is truly achieved, ensuring long-term use. Require.

PC belongs to environmentally friendly plastics, and acrylic sheets have some physical properties that cannot be achieved, so the use of acrylic sheets has been eliminated in some foreign fields. Although my country is a big country in the production of acrylic sheets, there are very few high value-added acrylic sheets produced, and they all rely on exports. PC boards are widely used, and are now used in the lighting roofs of industrial, commercial and civil buildings, as well as road sound insulation walls, agricultural greenhouse advertising and decoration industries, etc. The popularity of PC boards is the general trend!
