Where Is Polycarbonate Commonly Used?

 

Not only can polycarbonate be used in many commercial and industrial applications, but its flexibility and strength also make it ideal for many everyday uses that most people may not be aware of.

 

 

● Building Materials Industry

 

Polycarbonate sheets have good light transmission, impact resistance, and UV radiation resistance. The dimensional stability and good forming processability of polycarbonate sheet and its related products(such as (flat polycarbonate solid sheet, honeycomb polycarbonate sheet, PC light diffusing sheet, polycarbonate sheet connector h and u profile)) make polycarbonate sheet have obvious performance advantages over traditional inorganic glass.

 

 

● Transportation Manufacturing

 

Polycarbonate has good impact resistance, weather resistance, and other characteristics, so it is suitable for the production of various parts of cars or light trucks, and its applications are mainly concentrated in lighting systems, instrument panels, decorative frames, etc.

 

 

● Aerospace

 

The rapid development of aerospace technology has led to an increasing application of polycarbonate in this field. Polycarbonate is used in the manufacture of components and protective equipment for astronauts, etc.

 

 

● Medical Devices

 

Many grades of polycarbonate products are used for medical use. Because polycarbonate products can be heated and sterilized without causing physical degradation, they are widely used in medical equipment that requires repeated sterilization, such as the production of surgical masks, high-pressure syringes, and disposable dental appliances.

● Electronic Component

 

As a good electrical insulating material, polycarbonate is used in various products related to electronic appliances because of its heat resistance and flame retardant properties. Polycarbonate resins are mainly used for power tool housings, brackets, refrigerator freezer drawers, vacuum cleaner parts, etc.

 

 

● Packaging Products

 

Polycarbonate products have the advantages of being lightweight, are not easy to deform and remain transparent, and gradually become a substitute for glass bottles.

 

 

● Optical Lenses

 

Polycarbonate is often used for eye protection from UV rays, as well as other ballistic viewing and lighting applications that require greater impact resistance.

 

Optical lenses made of optical grade polycarbonate can be used not only for cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and optical testing instruments but also for projector lenses, copier lenses, and many other office equipments.

In addition, many types of lenses are made from polycarbonate, including sunglasses/glasses lenses, swimming goggles, and diving masks.

 

 

Conclusion

 

The above-mentioned are just a few of the many uses and applications for polycarbonate materials. In fact, polycarbonate plastic is such a commonly used material that you might not even realize how many applications and products it is used in. We can't ignore the importance of polycarbonate in our lives.
