What are flat polycarbonate sheets?
flat polycarbonate, also known as "solid polycarbonate sheet", is made of 100% Lexan raw material. The major advantage of flat polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, and 250 times stronger than glass. It features high clarity, is as transparent as glass, is lightweight, UV protected, and fire-resistant. Flat polycarbonate sheets are flexible and can be bent into different shapes. So Many large projects, such as stadium roofs, and shop mall roofs choose flat polycarbonate sheets to express the minds of architecture. Besides, flat polycarbonate sheets are also used for glazing roofs, highway noise barriers, advertising boxes, displays, and exhibition layouts.
What is tempering glass?
Tempered glass, is also known as toughened glass. The use of tempering to strengthen glass is actually a kind of prestressed glass. In order to improve the strength of the glass, chemical or physical methods are usually used to form compressive stress on the glass surface. When the glass is subjected to external force, the surface stress is first offset, thereby improving the bearing capacity ability to improve the tensile strength of glass.
The advantage of tempered glass is that its strength is several times higher than that of ordinary glass, and secondly, its bearing capacity is increased, which improves its fragile nature.
The disadvantage of tempered glass compared to PC solid sheets is that tempered glass cannot be re-cut and processed. In addition, tempered glass has the possibility of breaking itself. In addition, PC solid sheets can be bent and tempered glass cannot be bent. Wait.
Why choose flat polycarbonate replacing the tempering glass?
Compared to the weight, a flat polycarbonate sheet is the only half-weight of tempered glass. Save the installation cost and transportation cost.
Compared to the impact resistance, polycarbonate is stronger than tempered glass. And flat polycarbonate is noise reduction and lasts 10 years. Longer lifespan than tempered glass.
