What is U-lock hollow polycarbonate?
Today, We would like to talk about the U-lock polycarbonate sheet. Compared with normal polycarbonate like hollow solid polycarbonate, You may be unfamiliar with U-lock polycarbonate. Actually, U-lock polycarbonate is developed on the basis of normal polycarbonate. The most advantages of U-lock are simpler installation and more stable structure.
U-lock polycarbonate, with double hooks, has better firmness and integrates good lighting, high-strength heat insulation, and convenient installation. This cross-sectional design perfectly solves the problems of positive and negative wind pressure, thermal expansion, and condensation without drilling and screwing on the board, and can withstand very high loads.
The U-lock polycarbonate plate adopts freely sliding fixing parts. The upright rib design makes the entire system 100% free of water seepage on the installation surface. The innovative U-shaped seam structure design makes the plate installation easier and faster, and the combination is firm and maintenance.

What are the Unique features of U-lock Polycarbonate ?
1. The U-lock polycarbonate combines excellent lighting, heat insulation, and high-strength properties.
2. The U-lock polycarbonate provides a lightweight, no thermal expansion problem, and leak-proof design, which is excellent high impact resistance.
3. The unique U-shaped connection and free-floating structure of the PC U-lock can enhance the ability to resist external forces, solve the problem of thermal expansion and contraction, and achieve 100% water leakage prevention.
4. The U-shaped connection structure of the U-lock should reduce the load of the entire building. It can increase the span of the dragon frame or reduce the strength of the supporting frame. It can even adopt a self-structure to save brackets. Higher impact strength.
5. The PC U-lock is composed of two parts, and the installation is very simple and quick. Adopting a U-shaped locking structure, the whole roof system is made of imported polycarbonate material, and the whole canopy does not use screws. The aluminum bead and sealant are very beautiful and generous.

What are the application of U-lock Polycarbonate?
1. Roofs of buildings, commercial and retail buildings, and stadiums;
2. Walkway with canopy and open-air market;
3. Gas station/entrance ceiling, swimming pool ceiling, canopy;
4. Factory lighting skylights, rain sheds, facade lighting, partitions;
5. Private or commercial and retail building car pavilions, dome lighting, aisle lighting, etc.;
6. Leisure and entertainment venues, gymnasiums, swimming pools, fitness halls;
7. A variety of new daylighting canopies for agricultural buildings, greenhouses, and gardening.

What are the characteristics of normal Polycarbonate roofing?
(1) Light transmittance:
The light transmittance of the polycarbonate can reach up to 89%, which is as beautiful as glass. UV-coated panels will not produce yellowing, atomization, and poor light transmission under sunlight. After ten years, the loss of light transmission is only 6%, the loss rate of PVC is as high as 15%-20%, and the glass fiber is 12 %-20%.
(2) Impact resistance:
The impact strength is 250-300 times that of ordinary glass, 30 times that of acrylic sheets of the same thickness, and 2-20 times that of tempered glass. There will be no cracks when falling two meters under a 3kg hammer. Polycarbonate sheet is"unbreakable glass" and "sound steel".
(3) UV protection:
The polycarbonate panels are coated with anti-ultraviolet (UV) coating on one side, and anti-condensation treatment on the other side, which integrates anti-ultraviolet, heat insulation, and anti-drip functions. The polycarbonate panels made by special technology are suitable for the cultivation of special flowers and the environment with higher requirements for anti-ultraviolet protection. It can block 99% of ultraviolet rays from passing through and is suitable for protecting valuable artworks and exhibits from damage by ultraviolet rays and which can be used for display inbox. There are also double-sided UV's.
(4) Lightweight:
The specific gravity is only half of that of glass, saving the cost of transportation, handling, installation, and supporting frame.
(5) Flame retardant:
The national standard GB50222-95 confirms that the polycarbonate panels are flame-retardant grade one, that is, grade B1. The ignition point of the polycarbonate panel is 580℃, and it will self-extinguish after leaving the fire. It will not produce toxic gas during combustion and will not promote the spread of the fire.
(6) Flexibility:
According to the design drawings, cold bending can be used on the construction site to install into an arch, semi-circular roof, and window. The minimum bending radius is 175 times the thickness of the adopted plate, and hot bending is also possible.
(7) Sound insulation:
The sound insulation effect of polycarbonate panels is obvious, and it has better sound insulation than glass and acrylic board of the same thickness. Under the condition of the same thickness, the sound insulation of the polycarbonate sheet is 3-4DB higher than that of glass. Internationally, it is the material of choice for highway noise barriers.
(8) Energy-saving:
Keep cool in summer and keep warm in winter. polycarbonate panels have a thermal conductivity (K value) lower than that of ordinary glass and other plastics. The heat insulation effect is 7%-25% higher than that of the same glass. The heat insulation of polycarbonate panels is up to 49%. Thus, the heat loss is greatly reduced, and it is used in buildings with heating equipment and is an environmentally friendly material.
(9) Temperature adaptability:
The polycarbonate panel does not suffer from cold brittleness at -40°C, and does not soften at 125°C, and its mechanics and mechanical properties have no obvious changes in harsh environments.
(10) Weather resistance:
The polycarbonate panel can maintain the stability of various physical indicators in the range of -40°C to 120°C. After 4000 hours of artificial weathering test, the degree of yellowing was 2, and the light transmittance decreased by only 0.6%.
(11) Anti-condensation:
When the outdoor temperature is 0°C, the indoor temperature is 23°C, and the indoor relative humidity is lower than 80%, there will be no condensation on the inner surface of the material.
