What is a Polycarbonate Sheet?
Composed primarily of polycarbonate—an engineering thermoplastic—these solid sheets are also termed polycarbonate solid panels, PC bullet-resistant glass, or simply solid sheets.
The "Unbreakable Glass" Designation
This high-strength, light-transmitting, sound-insulating material delivers exceptional impact resistance. It withstands strikes from bricks, stones, and hammers, making it ideal for riot shields and aircraft windows. With hundreds of times the impact strength of regular glass, dozens of times that of same-thickness acrylic, and 2-20 times that of tempered glass, it remains intact when hit by a 2kg hammer dropped from 2 meters—justifying its "unbreakable glass" reputation.
Six Key Advantages of Polycarbonate Sheets
① Light Transmission: 95%+ clarity (matching glass) with only 6% light loss over 10 years.
② UV Protection: UV-coating blocks 99% of ultraviolet rays while preventing condensation, safeguarding interior furnishings.
③ Sound Insulation: 26dB noise reduction—proven in metro, high-speed rail, and highway sound barriers.
④ Fire Resistance: B1 fire-rated (self-extinguishing) per GB 8624 standards.
⑤ Weather Tolerance: Withstands -40°C to 120°C without thermal deformation, ensuring structural stability.
⑥ Thermal & Eco Efficiency: 7%-25% better insulation than glass (peak 49% efficiency), with 100% recyclable production waste.
