With the development of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence in the automotive industry, all sectors of the automobile are undergoing a comprehensive upgrade, and the interior of the automobile tends to become a multi-functional living space with "living on demand". What is foreseeable and actually happening is that the number and size of displays and touch screens inside cars will gradually increase. This also brings huge opportunities to PC (polycarbonate) solid panels and PC sheets. Sheets with outstanding comprehensive performance can be used for large-area three-dimensional screen, instrument panels, center consoles, seat panels, and car windows. Let us take a look at the application of PC solid panel in automobile industry.
Product Features
High light transmittance
PC solid boards and sheets have super high light transmittance, which is comparable to that of glass. High-quality products are transparent and crystal-free, with the light transmittance reaching more than 92%. PC solid panels with ultra-high light transmittance can be applied to car windows to ensure a bright field of vision, while PC sheets with ultra-high light transmittance can be applied to instrument panels, center console touch screens, etc., serving as glass alternatives.
High impact resistance
PC solid board has super impact resistance. Its strength is 250 times that of ordinary glass, 30 times that of plexiglass and 2-20 times that of tempered glass. The extremely tough polycarbonate is used for police explosion-proof shields and bulletproof glass laminated materials. Former President Georgian Shevardnadze had escaped once with the bulletproof glass windows made of polycarbonate.
Lightweight
With the development of lightweight cars, the light PC solid panel, which is only half the weight of glass, can effectively reduce the weight of the car. On the premise of ensuring the strength and safety performance of the car, it helps to improve the dynamics of the car, reduce fuel consumption, and exhaust pollution. Experiments have proved that when the weight of the car is reduced by half, the fuel consumption will also be reduced by nearly half. Due to the needs of environmental protection and energy saving, lightweight car has become a development trend. It is believed that the PC solid panel will prosper.
Durable
When PC solid panel is used in car windows and front windshield, it will be exposed to the sun for a long time, and it will quickly age if it is not resistant to ultraviolet rays. However, Saining PC solid panel is treated with co-extrusion process, which directly forms a dense UV protection layer on the surface of the product during the production process to extend the life of the board.
Easy to process
PC solid board and PC sheet are easy to process and can be cold-bent and hot-bent. According to the needs of the car window, it can be bent to obtain the desired shape. PC sheets can be subjected to deep processing such as thermoforming and blister to make screens and dashboards, etc. PC solid boards and sheets used in automobiles have higher requirements for quality, and wind pressure and light transmittance need to be customized according to the actual required design. With many years of experience in the industry and cutting-edge equipment and raw materials, Saining can tailor the PC sheet you need, and provide you with a suitable solution.
