How to distinguish between PC hollow sheet and PC solid sheet?
Many times, when we first come into contact with pc hollow sheets and pc solid sheets, it is easy to confuse them, especially in terms of their purpose, characteristics, etc.
Firstly, let's talk about their commonalities:
PC hollow sheets and PC solid sheets are both formed by one-time extrusion of polycarbonate particles. PC hollow sheets, also known as hollow sheets or hollow sheets, have a hollow mouth shape in the middle. PC solid sheets, also known as solid sheets, have the same transparency as glass but much higher strength. A 6MM PC endurance panel can no longer be pierced by bullets.
Next, let's specifically talk about their differences:
Structurally speaking:
We can easily distinguish them by their alternative names, PC hollow sheets are also called hollow board, as the name suggests, they have a hollow center. PC solid sheet, also known as solid board, is naturally solid. Structurally, PC hollow sheets can be single-layer, double-layer, or even multi-layer and are hollow. The PC solid sheet is a single-layer solid. In terms of weight, because the pc hollow sheets is hollow and uses less material, solid sheets with the same thickness and area are much heavier than hollow sheets.
In terms of specifications:
Specification of PC hollow sheet:
Thickness: 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 20mm.
Third and fourth floors. Meter grid: 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 25mm.
Length: Standard 6m We can also customize extended sizes according to customer requirements.
Width: Standard size 2100mm, maximum size 2160mm.
Colors: transparent, lake blue, green, brown, milky white, etc.
Specification of solid sheets:
Thickness: 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm, 9.0mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm.
Length: (coil) 30m-50m.
Width: 1220mm, 1560mm, 1820mm, 2050mm.
Color: transparent, lake blue, green, brown, milky white.
In terms of performance:
PC hollow sheets are lightweight, with a specific gravity only half that of regular glass, and are not easily broken; Good transparency; Good sound insulation effect; Excellent impact resistance; Anti condensation; Flame retardant and fire-resistant; Resistant to common chemical corrosion; Cold bending installation, heat-resistant and cold resistant. Sunlight panels rapidly entered the field of building decoration materials in the mid-1980s.
PC solid sheet is impact resistant and has a strength that is hundreds of times stronger than reinforced glass and acrylic board. It is tough, safe, anti-theft, and has the best bulletproof effect. Can be arched and bent: with good processability and strong plasticity, it can be bent into arched or semi-circular shapes according to the actual needs of the construction site. Co extruded UV layer, capable of absorbing 98% of harmful human ultraviolet rays, with strong cold and heat resistance; Excellent electrical insulation, excellent molding and heating processing performance; The transmittance is as high as 92%.
From an application perspective:
PC hollow sheets are generally used as safety lighting materials in factories; Noise barriers for highways and urban elevated roads; Agricultural greenhouses and breeding greenhouses, modern ecological restaurant ceilings, and swimming pool canopies; Subway entrances and exits, stations, or parking shelters within residential areas, balcony sunshades and rain shelters, and rooftop rest pavilions; Lighting ceilings for office buildings, department stores, hotels, villas, schools, hospitals, sports venues, entertainment centers, and public facilities; Indoor partitions, sliding doors for humanoid passages, balconies, and shower rooms.
PC solid sheet is generally used for interior and exterior decoration of commercial buildings, curtain walls of modern urban buildings; Transparent aviation containers, motorcycle windshields, aircraft, trains, ships, cars, submarines, and glass military and police shields; The layout of telephone booths, billboards, lightbox advertisements, and exhibition displays; Instruments, meters, high and low voltage switchgear panels, LED screen panels, and military industries, etc; High end interior decoration materials; Noise barriers for highways and urban elevated roads; Lighting ceilings for office buildings, department stores, and public facilities.
PC hollow sheet and Pc solid sheets have many similar uses, but there are also differences, so customers still need to choose PC hollow sheet and PC solid sheet according to their actual use and needs. in general, PC hollow sheet and PC solid sheet have both similarities and differences. Both have their own characteristics, and their application fields have overlapping parts as well as independent parts.
