Polycarbonate acrylic sheets and polycarbonate panels are two materials that are widely used in optics. The reason is that these two materials are transparent or translucent. So, what is the differences between these two materials?
The clear polycarbonate sheet is made of co-extrusion technology. The PC board is resistant to neutral oil, but not strong acid and is not resistant to alkali, so it needs to be coated with UV. It has high temperature resistance and good lighting effect. PC sunshine board (also known as PC hollow sheet, PC hollow board) is processed by high-performance engineering plastic-polycarbonate (PC) resin. It has the characteristics of high transparency, light weight, impact resistance, sound insulation, heat insulation, flame resistance, and anti-aging. At present, it is a widely used plastic building material in the world. It is a high-tech, extremely excellent, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly plastic sheet.
The PMMA acrylic sheet, commonly known as "specially treated plexiglass", and its chemical name is "PMMA", belongs to polyacrylates. In the application industry, acrylic 's raw materials generally appear in the form of particles, plates, pipes, etc. The acrylic PMMA sheet is a replacement product of plexiglass. The light box made of acrylic has the characteristics of good light transmission performance, pure color, rich color, beauty, taking into account the two effects of day and night, long service life, and does not affect the use. In addition, acrylic sheet and aluminum plastic board profiles, advanced screen printing, etc. can be perfectly combined to meet the needs of businesses. Acrylic blister is the best outdoor advertising form to improve the store level and unify the corporate image.
1). Acrylic: The specially treated plexiglass is a replacement product of plexiglass.
2). Multiwall polycarbonate sheets: It is made of polycarbonate as the main component and co-extrusion technology.
1). Acrylic: It has the characteristics of good light transmission performance, pure color, rich color, and long service life.
2). Polycarbonate plastic sheet: It has the characteristics of high transparency, light weight, impact resistance, sound insulation, heat insulation, flame resistance, anti-aging, etc. It is a high-tech, excellent, energy-saving and environmentally friendly plastic sheet.
1). Acrylic: Strong impact resistance, 16 times that of ordinary glass, suitable for installation in areas where safety is particularly required.
2). PC polycarbonate: The impact strength is 250-300 times that of ordinary glass, 30 times that of acrylic sheets of the same thickness, and 2-20 times that of tempered glass.
The transmittance of Acrylic is 93%, and the transmittance of Polycarbonate is 87%.
Acrylic plastic application
Acrylic plastics are mainly used in: windows and glass substitutes, insulation layers, craft projects, retail displays, etc.
Application of polycarbonate plastic
Polycarbonate flat sheets are mainly used in: bulletproof windows, transparent molds, greenhouse windows, models suitable for high-temperature applications, roof panels, etc.
Since you know the differences between them, you can better choose the kind of material you need.
