Polycarbonates are engineering thermoplastics that are strong, stiff, hard, tough, and transparent. They are also mouldable, durable, and lightweight. As a result, it is one of the most commonly used engineering thermoplastics. A polycarbonate sheet is a transparent, impact-resistant sheet manufactured from thermoplastic polymers with carbonate groups in their chemical composition. These polymers, which are composed of plastic, can be shaped by applying heat. In other words, polycarbonate or PC sheets may be tailored and formed in a variety of ways, making them useful in a wide range of manufacturing and industrial applications.
In this blog, we’ll be exploring the manufacturing process of polycarbonate sheets, their life span, and much more. So, first of all, let’s discuss how PC sheets are made.
Polycarbonate Sheet: Manufacturing Process Overview
Polycarbonate is typically produced by an interfacial reaction of bisphenol A and carbonyl chloride. Bisphenol A is produced under acidic conditions by the condensation of phenol with acetone. Polycarbonate items have structural strength due to the covalent bonds that exist between all of these components. Polycarbonate is a plastic that is a member of the polyester family. Polycarbonate comes in a range of grades depending on its application and production method.
In addition, extruded polycarbonates can be formed into a wide range of profiles with consistent cross-sections or continuous lengths. Such materials can be used to make roofing materials. This procedure is commonly referred to as a solid sheet, a multiwall sheet, or a profile extrusion. Typically, polycarbonate (PC) sheeting is made of polycarbonate that has been shaped into a sheet by blow molding, extrusion, vacuum forming, injection molding, or structural foam molding.
Uses of Polycarbonate Sheets
Polycarbonate is highly flexible due to its strength, lightweight, and pliability. It finds application in many different sectors, including the automotive, glazing, electrical, business machine, optical media, medical, lighting, and appliance industries.
How long does a polycarbonate sheet last?
The Lifespan of Polycarbonate (PC) Sheet: Polycarbonate is a tough material with an average lifespan of 10-20 years. Because of its better strength and endurance, this plastic outlasts other choices. This is why, PC sheets are commonly utilized in roofing panels and other outdoor applications.
Additionally, It's one of the most stiff types of plastic found. Among other options, PC sheets have a very high strength. It is over 200 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic sheets.
Is polycarbonate sheet heat resistant?
Polycarbonate is resistant to high temperatures, making it suitable for use in building construction and household items. Heat resistant polycarbonate sheets can withstand temperatures as high as 1166 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours without distortion, breaking, or heat absorption.
To Sum Up
Polycarbonate sheeting is made of polycarbonate that has been shaped into a sheet by blow molding, extrusion, vacuum forming, injection molding, or structural foam molding.
As discussed, polycarbonate (PC) sheets are a good alternative for various applications due to their high durability and heat resistance. They can survive extreme weather conditions without breaking or deteriorating, giving long-term protection.
