The 2mm Opal Polycarbonate Solid Sheet is a versatile and durable plastic material, often used in both commercial and residential applications.

Here’s a detailed description:

Features:

• Material: Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its strength, impact resistance, and optical clarity. The "opal" finish refers to a translucent white or milky color, which gives a soft, diffused light transmission while maintaining privacy.
• Thickness: The sheet is 2mm thick, offering a balance between flexibility and rigidity. Despite being thin, it is highly durable and resistant to breakage.
• Light Transmission: Opal Polycarbonate sheets typically allow between 30-50% light transmission. This diffused light provides a gentle glow without harsh glare, making it ideal for applications like skylights or covered walkways where both light and privacy are important.
• UV Protection: Polycarbonate sheets often have a UV-protective coating that helps prevent yellowing and degradation from exposure to sunlight. This makes the material suitable for outdoor applications.
• Impact Resistance: Polycarbonate is known for being 200 times stronger than glass, making it highly resistant to impact and suitable for environments where safety and durability are a priority.
• Weather Resistance: It has excellent resistance to weathering, including rain, wind, and fluctuating temperatures, ensuring long-term performance in harsh outdoor conditions.
• Applications: Commonly used for roofing, skylights, light panels, protective covers, signage, and decorative applications. Its diffused light properties are ideal for spaces requiring softer lighting without sacrificing transparency.

Advantages:

• Durability: Resistant to cracking, breaking, and shattering, making it an excellent choice for high-impact applications.
• Energy Efficiency: The opal sheet diffuses light effectively, reducing glare and minimizing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The opal appearance provides a clean, soft aesthetic, often used in modern design and architectural projects.
• Ease of Processing: Can be cut, drilled, and shaped easily, which makes it a flexible material for custom applications.

Common Uses:

• Skylights: Offers light diffusion while protecting from direct sunlight.
• Canopies and Awnings: Provides shelter with sufficient lighting but maintains privacy.
• Partitions and Dividers: Used in offices or commercial spaces to create translucent partitions.
• Signage: Used for illuminated signs and lightboxes.

3. What are the available thicknesses for Polycarbonate Solid Sheets?

Answer: We manufacture Polycarbonate Solid Sheets in various thicknesses, including:

• 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm Custom thicknesses can be produced upon request.

4. Can Polycarbonate Solid Sheets be used outdoors?

Answer: Yes, Polycarbonate Solid Sheets are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use due to their excellent weather resistance, UV protection, and durability. They can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

5. What is the light transmission of your Polycarbonate Solid Sheets?

Answer: The light transmission varies depending on the color and thickness. Clear sheets typically offer up to 90% light transmission, while opaque or opal sheets provide diffused light, allowing 30-50% transmission.

6. Are your Polycarbonate Solid Sheets UV-resistant?

Answer: Yes, all our Polycarbonate Solid Sheets are UV-protected on one side (or both sides depending on customer requirements). This coating helps prevent yellowing, degradation, and loss of transparency over time, ensuring long-term durability.

7. Can Polycarbonate Solid Sheets be customized for specific sizes and shapes?

Answer: Absolutely! We can customize Polycarbonate Solid Sheets to your desired size, thickness, and shape. We also offer cutting, drilling, and other processing services for custom applications.

8. Are your Polycarbonate Solid Sheets fire-resistant?

Answer: Our Polycarbonate Solid Sheets are flame-retardant, with most grades meeting fire ratings like V-2 or V-0 according to UL-94 standards, depending on the specific product.

9. What are the applications of Polycarbonate Solid Sheets?

Answer: Our Polycarbonate Solid Sheets are widely used in various applications, including:

• Roofing (commercial and residential)
• Skylights
• Awnings and canopies
• Light diffusers and panels
• Greenhouses
• Signage and displays
• Machine guards and protective covers
• Partitions and privacy screens

10. How do I maintain and clean Polycarbonate Solid Sheets?

Answer: To maintain the clarity and longevity of Polycarbonate Solid Sheets:

• Clean them with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap solution.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that can damage the surface.
• Rinse with water to remove dirt and grime, and dry with a soft towel or cloth to avoid scratching.

11. Can Polycarbonate Solid Sheets be used for insulation?

Answer: Polycarbonate Solid Sheets have moderate thermal insulation properties, with lower U-values compared to glass. For better thermal insulation, multi-wall polycarbonate sheets may be a better option. However, Polycarbonate Solid Sheets still provide some heat resistance and energy savings.

12. How long do Polycarbonate Solid Sheets last?

Answer: Polycarbonate Solid Sheets have a long lifespan, typically lasting 10-20 years, depending on environmental conditions and maintenance. UV protection ensures that the sheets maintain their clarity and strength over time, even in outdoor environments.
