Everyday Uses For Polycarbonate Film Sheet
 
1

Room divider
A common use for polycarbonate film sheet is dividing a room. Since the sheet is lightweight, it is easy to move from place to place. Some are manufactured in an accordion style so you can open and close the divider as needed, and some are even made on wheels for easier movement.

 

2

Safety glasses
Since polycarbonate film sheet is resistant to impact damage and chemicals, as well as flame retardant, it is a top choice for safety glasses and goggles. Due to the nature of polycarbonate sheet, it provides more protection than other materials would while keeping glasses and goggles thin enough they won't affect someone's vision.

 

3

Bullet resistance
In places where bullet-resistant glass is a necessity, a polycarbonate film sheet can help provide proper protection and security. The polycarbonate sheet is placed in between layers of the glass, providing protection should any bullets hit the surface.
Riot shields are also commonly created with polycarbonate sheet due to the bullet resistance.

Clear polycarbonate
Polycarbonate film sheet has in recent years become an immensely popular choice for skylights, sign faces, covered walkways, and other instances where transparency is desired. There's good reason for that; after all, polycarbonate possesses impact resistance 250 times greater than that of glass while also exhibiting exceptional temperature resistance and tensile strength. What's more, our polycarbonate sheeting is warrantied against yellowing, hazing, breakage and any other defect that might lower its light transmitting capabilities. Simply put, you won't find a better material out there for consistent clarity and durability in even the harshest of environments.
The choice, then, comes down to which sort of clear polycarbonate film sheet best suits your needs. Our Clear SL Sheet boasts all the features listed above as part of an affordable product model that comes in 46 different widths and thicknesses. SL2 Sheeting, meanwhile, offers all the strengths of the SL model while also featuring UV resistance on both sides of the sheet, a must for environments where both sides will be continually exposed to sunlight. That brings us finally to our GP Sheeting, whose glazed surface makes it an exceptional choice for machine guards, freight doors, or any other instance where breakage or vandalism is a concern. Any plastics provider can sell you a clear polycarbonate sheet - much fewer can offer them in varieties specifically geared to the needs of your business or facility.

 

Colored/Tinted polycarbonate
Just because polycarbonate film sheet is strong doesn't mean it can't also be beautiful. If you're interested in using polycarbonate sheeting as part of an eye-catching display or advertisement, take a look at our colored polycarbonate sheeting offerings to find the material that'll serve as the centerpiece of your creation. These striking hues - combined with polycarbonate's ability to be cut or formed on site - make your imagination the only limit to your design.
If you're looking for something a little more subtle (or for sheeting better suited for industrial and institutional environments), our tinted polycarbonate sheets may be more your speed. Each of these models can be ordered in bronze, light grey or dark grey, allowing you to boost the security of your facility while also maintaining true to its aesthetic. As a bonus, these tinted sheets can reflect up to 70% of solar energy, which can reduce incoming radiation and help keep areas protected by polycarbonate sheet cool on even the hottest days.

 

Mirrored polycarbonate
Everybody loves the look of glass, but nobody enjoys how easily it can be broken or otherwise marred. That's why mirrored polycarbonate has become the go-to material for those that need a mirrored surface that won't break if somebody looks at it funny. The automotive, dentistry, cosmetic and correctional industries - just to name a few - have all instituted polycarbonate mirrors in their products and facilities. That's because polycarbonate mirrors possess the clarity of glass and the strength to hold up in even the most brutal environments.

 

Bulletproof polycarbonate
As long as we're talking about brutal environments, we may as well mention that polycarbonate sheeting also comes in a number of bulletproof varieties. This is the material that's commonly referred to as bulletproof "glass," a thick pane of polycarbonate that's used widely across the banking, law enforcement, security, and correctional industries.

 

Abrasion-Resistant (AR) polycarbonate
One of the downsides of polycarbonate sheeting is that it's more susceptible to scratching than glass and certain other plastics. That's why we developed a brand of polycarbonate sheeting specifically designed to address that shortfall, a resilient and flexible product ideal for schools, hospitals, correctional facilities, or anywhere else where accumulated abrasions are a concern. Though the initial investment on this product is a little higher than some of our other offerings, consider the money you'll save in the future by being able to enjoy this polycarbonate's scratch-free surface for years to come.

 

Anti-Static polycarbonate
Certain sterile and scientific environments strive to avoid static at all costs because of how easily it can harm sensitive equipment and affect the results of experimentation. If you're looking for a material to use in an area whose environment is tightly controlled, look no further than our anti-static sheeting. This polycarbonate model is coated with a metal and plastic mixture that prevents the generation of static electricity, a coating that also boosts its tremendous impact and chemical resistance. In addition, the permanent nature of said coatiless susceptible to humidity than the temporary anti-static coatings used by other companies.

 

Flame retardant polycarbonate
Though polycarbonate film sheet possesses incredible temperature resistance, the high temperatures generated by open flames can be a little too much for it to handle. If you're working in an environment where the risk of fire is ever-present, consider investing in our flame retardant plastic sheeting. Designed to inhibit the creation of flames, this product is a perfect choice for electrical devices, aircraft components, switchgear covers and for any other items that carry electrical currents.

 

FDA-Approved polycarbonate
Those in the business of creating food-handling products know how difficult it can be to find FDA-approved materials, especially in cases where custom-sized molds or dies are required. Luckily, FDA-approved polycarbonate meets not only FDA but also NSF standard 51 requirements. You can rest easy knowing that any product you create with this sheeting will safely handle food and do so with the same remarkable strengths and resistances boasted by all our polycarbonate models.

 

Multiwall polycarbonate
Multiwall polycarbonate film sheet is just what it sounds like - layered polycarbonate sheeting that's even more powerful than the base material in terms of unbreakability, versatility and insulation. It exhibits this superiority while maintaining remarkable lightness, which makes it an ideal glazing material for environments where protection is necessary against sunlight and other environmental concerns. Multiwall can be used in greenhouses, skylights, solariums, atriums and more. If you're taking on a similar project - or need custom sheeting for an entirely original endeavor - multiwall polycarbonate is just about the best material you can use.

How to identify the quality grade of Polycarbonate Film Sheet?

 

 

Price
While comparing quotations from different suppliers, if there is a large gap between two quotations for same specifications polycarbonate film sheet, then they must be in different quality, you can only get what you pay. Lowest price is attractive, but it can't be the best quality.

 

Transparence
Clear Polycarbonate solid sheet made by 100% virgin raw material can reach more than 92% transparence. While you are looking through the sheets, there are no visible impurities or pockmark, the color is uniform and pure. However, if Polycarbonate sheet produced by recycled or mixing with virgin and recycled material, Polycarbonate sheet will appear yellowing or darkening.

 

PE protection film status
PE protection film can be attached firmly on Polycarbonate sheet surface without falling off, that indicates that the production equipment and technology of manufacturer is better, and the manufacturer has better quality control system.

 

Wall thickness and gravity
Some of polycarbonate film sheet manufacturers will produce hollow sheets with lower gravity than standard one, so that they can provide a better price. But you can notice that the thickness of the wall is much thinner than others in standard or over standard gravity. They can even do the same for solid sheet producing. That means the actual thickness of solid sheet they provide is thinner than what you need. So comparing by the unit gravity and wall thickness of the sheet, you can distinguish the quality of the sheet obviously, the higher of the unit gravity and wall thickness, the better of the quality.

 

Bending performance
Polycarbonate sheets produced by good quality virgin material can't be easily broken while bending over and over again. They have outstanding bending strength especially for Polycarbonate solid sheet.
However, for poor quality Polycarbonate sheet which is produced by recycled or mixing with recycled material in percentage, sheets are very crisp and can even be broken by hands easily.

 

Flatness
You tear PE protection film to see Polycarbonate sheet's surface, if surface is flat and smooth enough without any potholes, scratches or transverse or wavy line, then it is high quality Polycarbonate sheet. If not, it is poor quality.With 6 methods above, we believe they can help you well to identify Polycarbonate sheet quality grade, and you will no longer be in trouble on Polycarbonate sheet choosing.

Asked Questions
 
 

Q: What is the best thickness for polycarbonate?

A: We recommend 6mm or 10mm for twinwall polycarbonate sheets and between 3mm-6mm for solid glazing sheets. The most common thickness for greenhouses with solid polycarbonate panels is 6mm. This means it's suitable for any type of weather.

Q: What are the facts about polycarbonate sheets?

A: Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic that comes in a transparent sheet and offers unique durability and is resistant to water and impact damage with its tough quality and minimal moisture absorbance. They also have excellent heat resistance, stability and are flame-retardant and chemical resistant.

Q: What you need to know about polycarbonate?

A: Polycarbonate boasts a wide range of benefits, making it a popular plastic to use. It's extremely durable while being exceptionally lightweight, making it an ideal replacement for windows. In fact, a sheet of polycarbonate is 250 times stronger than a pane of glass while being highly shatter resistant.

Q: Does polycarbonate crack easily?

A: Polycarbonate, an amorphous glassy thermoplastic, is susceptible to cracking or crazing when under stress and in contact with a chemical environment. 1 Much of the polycarbonate molded into medical devices comes in contact with, or is attached to, flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Q: What is the life expectancy of a polycarbonate sheet?

A: With an average lifespan of 10 to 20 years (and potentially even longer with proper care), they offer excellent value for money. Whether you're building a new home, renovating an old one, or just looking to replace your current roof, polycarbonate panels are certainly worth considering.

Q: What is a fun fact about polycarbonate?

A: Almost unbreakable, PC plastic is very strong as a material. It can maintain its structure in temperatures up to 140°C and down to -20°C making it an ideal choice for locations where the weather fluctuates often.

Q: How can you tell the quality of polycarbonate sheets?

A: You tear PE protection film to see Polycarbonate sheet's surface, if surface is flat and smooth enough without any potholes, scratches or transverse or wavy line, then it is high quality Polycarbonate sheet. If not, it is poor quality.

Q: Is polycarbonate bullet proof?

A: Bullet resistant polycarbonate is available in a variety of grades and strengths. While no material is truly “bulletproof”, it is a great option for added safety and protection. Bullet resistant polycarbonate meets all security requirements with regard to protection against forced entry and ballistic impact.

Q: How does polycarbonate fail?

A: However, the amorphous nature and high free volume between the molecules, causes PC to have exceptionally poor chemical resistance. PC readily absorbs many hydrocarbon chemicals causing it to become brittle and fail by a process known as Environmental Stress Cracking or ESC.

Q: What degrades polycarbonate?

A: Like other polymers, PC undergoes deep processes of degradation due to the variations of temperature, stress, and, in particular, humidity and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The final results of degradation due to environmental weathering are discoloration, embrittlement, loss of toughness, and transparency.

Q: How do you get moisture out of polycarbonate sheets?

A: Polycarbonate is hydroscopic and so can absorb moisture from the atmosphere and installations depend on ventilation to avoid saturated air in the cellular structure which will condense under appropriate conditions. The bottom of the sheets have breather tape fixed to them to allow any moisture to evaporate out.

Q: What is a cheaper alternative to polycarbonate sheets?

A: Acrylic is less expensive than polycarbonate and is commonly used as a suitable alternative when impact resistance is not a key factor. Acrylic also has a higher degree of transparency than polycarbonate and is used when clarity and optical characteristics are critical.

Q: Which is stronger Plexiglass or polycarbonate?

A: These two types of plastics are oftentimes compared to one another because they are similar in appearance and the most frequently utilized see-through plastic materials on the market. Both have benefits and drawbacks. Generally speaking, acrylic sheeting is shinier and polycarbonate sheet is stronger.

Q: How thick does polycarbonate have to be to be bulletproof?

A: Its thickness ranges from 1” to 2 ½” depending on the UL level of protection, stopping shots from handguns to AK-10s, as well as offering blast protection. Glass-clad polycarbonate can be used in interior and exterior applications.

Q: What happens to polycarbonate in the sun?

A: Why does polycarbonate need UV protection? Sheets that do not have protection, as a result of constant exposure to sunlight, lose transparency, become yellow, brittle. Ultraviolet light destroys polymer bonds.

Q: How long does polycarbonate last in the sun?

A: If a roof is well maintained, it can last between 10 to 20 years before it's going to need to be replaced. There are even instances where the polycarbonate roof panels have lasted 30 years. Polycarbonate has the capability to resist extreme temperatures, both cold and hot.

Q: Does polycarbonate get brittle with age?

A: PC can become brittle when exposed to ionizing radiation above 25 kGy. The aging of polycarbonate is widely documented, especially when exposed to light. Photodegradation is described as a mainly two-way process [6,7,8,9]. On the one hand, the photo-Fries process is responsible for polymer decolorization .

Q: How bad is polycarbonate for the environment?

A: As we've described above, polycarbonate is still a plastic with the potential for harm to the environment if it's not recycled or used responsibly however, it's benefits are undeniable and it offers efficient recycling options.

Q: What is the main use of polycarbonate?

A: Compact discs, riot shields, vandal proof glazing, baby feeding bottles, electrical components, safety helmets and headlamp lenses are all typical applications for PC.

Q: What is the gap between polycarbonate sheets?

A: Top Tip: if you are starting with a wall bar make sure there is an approx. 9mm gap between the base bar and wall to allow for the top clip. Allowing for an expansion gap of approximately 2mm between the polycarbonate sheets and Snap down glazing bars line the base bars up.
