What is polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is a family of thermoplastic polymers. It is a transparent, resistant and impact-resistant material for construction purposes.
The hardest material is transparent, which is a suitable alternative to glass, which is used in various construction sectors.
The structural variety of polycarbonate sheets makes it possible to use it on any type of structure, next to any type of building material.
Features of polycarbonate sheet:
They are light and transparent
They pass the light
They can be injected and recycled
High strength compared to plastic, impact and scratch resistance, high flexibility, good thermal insulation, non-flammable and self-extinguishing at high temperature and non-conductive.
It is a light and shock-resistant sheet with a high variety of colors, which makes this product capable of variable shading and light transmission.
Polycarbonate sheet applications:
1) Construction of roof coverings for parking lots, greenhouses, swimming pools and sports stadiums
2) Construction of false ceiling
3) Making car parts
4) Building the walls of the sheds
5) Construction of pedestrian bridges
6) Construction of separating walls
7) Construction of shade and covering of skylights of warehouses
8) partitioning, decorative domes, making chambers
9) Construction of bus station and telephone kiosks
10) Making compact discs
11) Use in growing plants
12) Making hats, prescription glasses, eye lenses, car lights and ampoules
13) Military industry and aircraft manufacturing industry and making bulletproof glass
14) The use of polycarbonate in automobile manufacturing due to its high impact resistance properties
and high transparency in car interior decorations, sunroof, especially in the glass of car lights
Disadvantages of polycarbonate:
One of the biggest disadvantages of the double-walled type is when it is cut by any sharp object.
Top heating of polycarbonate sheets in the hot months of the year
Being smoky during fire
Surface roughness of polycarbonate sheets
The high price of polycarbonate sheets due to having an anti-UV coating
Materials that damage the polycarbonate sheet:
humidity
Over time, dust makes these types of sheets dirty and water enters the grooves of the sheet.
Therefore, it should be closed and sealed through glue
Strong winds and wrong installation of sheets
