Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Safety and Security:

  • Bullet-Resistant Glass: Used in layered security glazing for banks, vehicles, and buildings.
  • Protective Gear: Safety goggles, face shields, and riot gear due to shatter resistance.

 

2. Electronics:

  • Optical Media: CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs.
  • Device Components: Smartphone casings, laptop housings, and transparent covers for screens.

 

3. Automotive:

  • Lighting Systems: Headlights, taillights, and interior lighting due to clarity and heat resistance.
  • Glazing: Lightweight windows, sunroofs, and racing car canopies.

 

4. Construction:

  • Packaging:
  • Blister Packs/Clamshells: Clear, tough packaging for retail products.

 

8. Green Technology:

  • Solar Panels: Protective layers and frames.
  • LED Lighting: Lenses and diffusers for efficient light distribution.

 

9. 3D Printing:

High-strength, heat-resistant filaments for functional prototypes and industrial parts.

They are all completely waterproof, so there is no concern about them leaking even on the heaviest rains or during floods. Thus, this type of material is used in panel form at various places to face the natural calamities such as cyclone which can push your room and allow you inside safely.

Poly Carbonate is also a great material which found its wide range of applications in various industries and domestically as well. It has very high strength, stiffness, chemical resistance and impact properties but is also one of the easiest to machine from a manufacturing stand point.

 

Polycarbonate also lacks scratch resistance which is its main disadvantage. For example, if a branch falls and scratches an acrylic patio cover. The solution to this problem is polishing the polycarbonate.

 

Polycarbonate can withstand an impact of over 900 psi and is nearly 200 times tougher than steel. Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic and will bend, then snap back to its original state (much like silicone), while metal can become dented.

Given these movement requirements a highly impact resistant plastic called polycarbonate.ResponseBody was found to be ideal. Outside of these applications, the lifespan of a polycarbonate roof depends on climate and location. However, these are a 10-20-year warranty type of roofing and would be a great choice for the next project.

polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, it clearly has the drop on glass from a safety aspect.progressBar(0%) 5 of 6 Function & Durability The material is robust and capable of bearing a heavy load in adverse weather conditions, making it ideal as an alternative for glass at schools, subways, bus-stops; greenhouses or even hospitals.
