  PC hollow sheets are lightweight, durable, and highly transparent materials made from polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is a type of thermoplastic polymer that is known for its high impact resistance and exceptional optical clarity. These sheets are designed with a hollow structure, which means they consist of multiple layers with air gaps in between, resembling a honeycomb-like design. This unique structure gives PC hollow sheets their excellent thermal insulation properties while maintaining their lightweight nature.   Composition and Manufacturing Process   The manufacturing of PC hollow sheets involves the extrusion of polycarbonate resins into a hollow profile. During this process, the material is heated and then forced through a mold to form the desired sheet structure. The hollow design is created by a series of internal ribs that run parallel to the sheet's length. These ribs provide the necessary strength and stability while keeping the sheet lightweight.   Pro...

  Polycarbonate is a type of plastic known for its high impact resistance and transparency. It is often compared to glass and acrylic, but it stands out due to its unique combination of toughness and clarity. Polycarbonate sheets can be easily molded and thermoformed, allowing them to be used in a variety of forms and applications. Their lightweight nature, combined with their strength, makes them ideal for both protective and aesthetic purposes.     Common Uses of Polycarbonate Sheets   1. Architectural Glazing and Skylights   One of the most prevalent uses of polycarbonate sheets is in architectural glazing and skylights. Due to their transparency and ability to transmit natural light while offering protection from harmful UV rays, polycarbonate sheets are commonly used in roofing applications. They are a safer alternative to glass, especially in areas prone to impacts or harsh weather conditions. The sheets can be found in greenhouses, conservatories, and eve...
