Everything About Polycarbonate Sheet
𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 has been manufacturing various prefabricated materials such as 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗨𝗙 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹, 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗨𝗙 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹/𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹, Tile Shaped Roofing Sheet etc. But recently Sandwich Home Solution have launched Polycarbonate sheet products. For a better understanding of Polycarbonate sheets, we must first understand what Polycarbonate is and how strong is polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate (PC) is a naturally transparent unshaped thermoplastic (thermoplastic is a type of plastic that becomes soft when heated and hard when it is cooled) which means that it can be reshaped when they are heated. They are easily available in various colours that allow the internal transmission of light in the same capacity as glass.
How Strong Is Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate products are very tough and strong, which can be used to produce a variety of materials if impact resistance and transparency is a product requirement. Polycarbonate is nearly unbreakable with 200 times the impact strength of normal glass.
Polycarbonate Sheet
polycarbonate sheet is a thermoplastic transparent sheet that is incredibly strong, absorb extremely low moisture making it resistant to impact and water damage. Polycarbonate sheets are commercially available in various qualities and thicknesses. Polycarbonate sheets are very light still durable and resistant to impact and cracks so they can be used as an alternative for glass.
Product Specification
S.N | Name of material | Specification/Quantity |
1 | Polycarbonate sheet | Crystal sheet |
2 | Thickness | 2.5 mm |
3 | Color | Transparent |
Properties Of Polycarbonate Sheet
- High impact strength.
- High tensile, flexural and shear strength
- High modulus of elasticity: means the form of a product remains the same when a heavy load is applied.
- Low deformation under load
- Optimal creep and cold flow resistance: resistance to slowly deformation
Why Polycarbonate Sheet?
- It is lightly weighted still very durable.
- Resistance to breakage and cracks.
- Easy to install and can be to easily repaired.
- Can be used in more creative design.
- Allows maximum sunlight to pass through it keeping out the harmful ultraviolet rays.
- Easily available in different designs, colours and quality.
Using polycarbonate sheets in a window and other openings in places provides high security from robbery, impact damages from stones vandalism, where glasses are highly brittle in nature, vulnerable to damages during transportation, crack, and other impact activities.
Polycarbonate Sheet VS Normal Glass.
Polycarbonate sheet is more durable stronger and lighter than normal glass. The polycarbonate sheet is almost unbreakable. It is almost 200 times stronger than Normal Glass. Polycarbonate sheet does not shatter in impact whereas Normal glass can shatter easily on impact. So, in public places where the use of doors and windows are frequent, in such places use of polycarbonate sheets is recommended. Polycarbonate is cheaper and can be easily installed and easily be repaired than normal glass. Polycarbonate sheet can be easily modified and is available in various design colour and qualities. Polycarbonate sheets have more ultraviolet protection whereas normal glass does not have UV protection properties at all.
Hence, in terms of strength, weight, safety, UV protection and insulation polycarbonate wins it all.
