What factors affect the price of PC hollow sheets?

At present, with the increasing application of PC polycarbonate sheets as a new type of sheets, many industries will use different types of polycarbonate sheets. However, there are significant differences in the prices of polycarbonate sheets on the market. Why is the price difference of polycarbonate sheets from over 20 yuan to over 60 yuan so large?

We all know that pc hollow sheets, commonly known as pc sheets, are the full name for polycarbonate hollow sheets. They are a type of building material made from polycarbonate and other PC materials, with double-layer or multi-layer pc hollow sheets and insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation, and rain blocking functions. Its advantages lie in its lightweight and weather resistance. Although other plastic sheets also have the same effect, polycarbonate sheets are more durable, with strong light transmission, impact resistance, heat insulation, anti condensation, flame retardancy, sound insulation, and good processing performance.

The main factors affecting the cost of PC hollow sheets are:

1、 Raw material manufacturers

At present, there are raw materials such as Bayer material, Luxi material, etc. Of course, Bayer material is generally used for high-quality materials. There may be a possibility of adding recycled materials in the production process of polycarbonate sheets, and the more recycled materials added, the worse the quality of the product. Because the polycarbonate sheet is produced using brand new imported PC raw materials from abroad, the cost is relatively high. The cost of polycarbonate sheets with more recycled materials is relatively low, but there is no guarantee of product quality.

2、 Thickness and weight (in grams)

Thickness and weight: The national standard for 8mm hollow sheets used in agricultural greenhouses is 8mm, with a weight of 1.5 grams. If the thickness is slightly reduced and the weight reaches 1.4 or 1.35 grams, the price will differ by 7% to 10%. To ensure strength and service life, it is recommended to use hollow sheets with sufficient weight and thickness.

3、 Top UV coating thickness

UV resistant coating and anti drip coating. The standard UV protection thickness is 50um. If the thickness is reduced, the UV protection ability and service life will be shorter, and the lifespan of the plastic will also be reduced.

4、 Different models

Some models of hollow sheets have higher prices, not only because of their better product quality, but also because of their complex manufacturing processes, and the higher prices of larger specialized products. It is recommended that everyone choose the appropriate product type based on their actual situation. The best product is one that meets our needs, and model selection is also very important.

5、 Different manufacturers

Different manufacturers also have a significant impact on the price of PC polycarbonate sheets. This does not mean that brand merchants' products have higher prices. In fact, many large manufacturers directly produce in bulk and cooperate with raw material suppliers, so the cost price is also lower. Therefore, the price will also be lower. The cost and price of products from factories are relatively favorable, so it is best to directly choose products from large factories that meet our needs.

Nowadays, the best boards on the market are Bayer's genuine ten-year boards, and of course, most manufacturers also use Bayer materials or materials from other large factories for processing. The transmittance of the new hollow sheet used in agriculture is 80%, and it will decrease over time but will remain within 10%. But if you just blindly pursue cheapness, there is a higher possibility of using recycled materials. Of course, they will turn yellow and the light transmittance will be greatly reduced in a few years, making it difficult to meet the needs of agriculture.

        Remind merchants to choose high-quality hollow sheets with high cost-effectiveness when choosing them. Price can only be used as a reference. When choosing hollow sheets, combine your own needs and carefully choose high-quality solar panel manufacturers with good service, so you can buy with confidence.
