Polycarbonate Sheet – The Best Option

Polycarbonate sheets are very much used in the construction industry like for example in sound walls, or curved glazing or domelights. In this age of global warming and high energy consuming materials, polycarbonate sheet proves to be an unique option of minimizing or stopping the energy consumption in several application areas like artificial electrical lighting and so on. These sheets offer the opportunity to use the solar energy for better and in an efficient way for many years to come. These sheets are the first choice as construction materials and they result into great financial savings in the long run. 

Polycarbonate sheets are high in strength, light transmission and heat insulation. It is a unique engineering thermoplastic which includes high level of physical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. It is also known as the king of engineering plastic. Many of the highlighted properties are:

·        Light weight
·        Better performance
·        Framework support can be increased with distance
·        Great strength
·        High light transmission
·        UV protection and weather resistance
·        High heat insulation
·        Simply processed and simple installation
·        High resistance
·        Available in many colors 

Also, many may not be aware but polycarbonate sheets, the scrap wastage can be reprocessed and can be used in the production of re-granulated sheet material and the off-cuts after cutting and trimming of sheets can be recycled into lower grade polycarbonate products. Because the technology is not very developed, currently, polycarbonate material used or mixed with other substances requires processing with many other commercial facilities but the slow degradation does not give rise to any hazardous by-products.
