PC Textured Sheet

Exceptional Light Transmission
Extreme clarity ensures excellent light transmission. Textured polycarbonate sheets with light transmission up to 90% compares favorably with glass. UV protection film aids in resistance against yellowing and loss of light transmission.

High Impact Strength
Solid structure gives higher impact strength than other plastic sheets or hollow polycarbonate sheets. Also being leak-proof, its impact strength is about 200 times as much as common glass, and about 10 times stronger than toughened glass.

Lightweight
The weight of a textured polycarbonate sheet is only one half of glass of the same volume. This is indeed a boon, as it makes installation a breeze, and saves on transport and freight costs.

Thermal Insulation
These sheets have lower thermal conductivity (K-valve), hence reducing the loss of heat. It is used in buildings to provide cool summers and warm winters, thus cutting down on electricity costs significantly.

High Purity
New materials are produced without recycled and recycled materials. The transparency of clear embossed polycarbonate sheet can reach more than 82%.Not afraid of being smashed: embossed polycarbonate sheet is 250-300 times stronger than ordinary glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic board of the same thickness. Simulated hail impact test: Simulate hail impact on the simulated hail impact testing machine. When a nylon ball with a diameter of 20mm (weight 4.8g) is launched to the sample version at a speed of 21m/s, observe the degree of damage to the sample.

Aging resistance
There is a UV co-extruded layer of embossed polycarbonate sheet products on one side of the PC. The thickness is up to 50 μm, which can block the passage of ultraviolet rays, so it has good weather resistance. The side with anti-UV treatment layer must face the sun during installation. The service life of the UV layer can be adjusted according to the actual usage scenario or construction budget.

Light weight
The specific gravity of embossed polycarbonate sheet is only half that of ordinary glass, saving the cost of transportation, handling, installation and support frames.

Self-extinguishing when exposed to fire
The ignition point of embossed polycarbonate sheet is 580°C, and the flame-retardant material will automatically extinguish when exposed to fire. It will not cause harmful gases when burning and will not promote the spread of fire. GB8624-1997 is flame retardant level B; V0 level flame retardant boards can be customized and produced.

Cold-formed shape
Embossed polycarbonate sheets can be cold-formed at the construction site according to the design drawings, and installed into arches, semi-circular roofs and windows. The minimum bending radius is 100 times the thickness of the plate used, and hot bending is also possible.

Aesthetics and Visual Appeal
The aesthetic aspect of your project is one of the primary factors in determining the right polycarbonate sheet color. The color you choose should complement the overall design and architectural style of your project. Whether you're working on a residential greenhouse, a commercial canopy, or a creative design project, the color of the polycarbonate sheet can influence the visual appeal of the finished product. You can choose from a wide range of colors, including clear, translucent, or opaque options, to achieve the desired look and feel.

Light Transmission and Diffusion
Polycarbonate sheets are known for their excellent light transmission properties. The color of the sheet can impact the amount and quality of light that passes through. If your project requires ample natural light, consider transparent or translucent polycarbonate sheets. These allow light to pass through while diffusing it, creating a soft and pleasant glow. In contrast, opaque sheets are used when you need to block out light or maintain privacy. The choice of color can significantly affect the ambiance and functionality of the space.

Solar Heat Gain
Another crucial consideration when selecting the right polycarbonate sheet color is its solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). The SHGC measures how much solar heat is transmitted through the material. Darker colors tend to absorb and retain more heat, making them suitable for projects where heat retention is desirable, such as in colder climates or for solar heating applications. Lighter colors, on the other hand, reflect more heat and are ideal for projects in hot and sunny regions, as they help to reduce cooling costs.

Energy Efficiency
In today's eco-conscious world, energy efficiency is a top priority. The color of your polycarbonate sheet can play a role in energy conservation. When using polycarbonate in roofing or cladding applications, selecting a color that reflects a significant portion of the sun's energy can help reduce indoor cooling costs. This is particularly important in commercial and industrial buildings. Reflective and cool colors are commonly used for this purpose.

Ultraviolet (UV) Resistance
Exposure to UV radiation can lead to the degradation of polycarbonate materials over time. Choosing a polycarbonate sheet color with UV protection or additives is crucial for outdoor applications. Many polycarbonate sheets come with a UV-resistant coating that extends their lifespan by preventing yellowing and brittleness due to UV exposure. Make sure to check the manufacturer's specifications and select a color that offers the required UV protection for your specific project.

Long-Term Maintenance
Consider the long-term maintenance of your project when choosing the polycarbonate sheet color. Darker colors may show dirt and stains more visibly, requiring more frequent cleaning. Lighter and neutral colors may be a practical choice for projects where ongoing maintenance is a concern, such as high-traffic areas or places prone to dust and pollution.
