❓ What is Polycarbonate Sheet?
Polycarbonate Sheet is a transparent thermoplastic material made from carbonate polymers. Known as the "unbreakable material", polycarbonate has impact resistance 250 times better than glass with only half the weight. This revolutionary material was discovered in 1953 and has become an industrial standard for applications requiring extreme safety and durability.
The production process of polycarbonate involves extrusion or casting methods. The extrusion method produces continuous sheets with high cost efficiency, suitable for general applications. While casting produces material with superior optical quality and precise thickness, ideal for technical applications. Polycarbonate is available in various types including solid, multiwall, corrugated, and various colors and transparency levels.
Key characteristics of polycarbonate sheet include: extreme impact resistance, high thermal stability (-40°C to +135°C), natural flame resistance (UL94 V-0/V-2), light transmission up to 90%, and built-in UV protection. This material is also resistant to many chemicals and extreme weather conditions.

🚀 Product Advantages
Exceptional Durability - Our polycarbonate can withstand high-energy impacts up to 900 kJ/m², making it ideal for security and heavy industrial applications. Compared to other materials, its impact resistance remains consistent even at low temperatures down to -40°C.
Premium UV Protection - Our 50-micron co-extruded layer guarantees long-term UV protection, maintaining light transmission >85% for up to 10 years of outdoor use. This technology prevents material degradation and premature discoloration.
Ease of Fabrication - With a glass transition temperature of 147°C, our polycarbonate is easy to form using conventional thermoforming. Our material produces more precise formations with minimal risk of distortion.
Dimensional Stability - Low coefficient of thermal expansion (65×10⁻⁶/K) ensures dimensional stability in various environmental conditions. Material shrinkage <0.7% after fabrication processes.
Superior Chemical Resistance - Special formulation makes our polycarbonate resistant to oils, lubricants, alcohols, and weak acid/base solutions. Protection against stress cracking is 40% better than industry standards.
