2mm Opal Polycarbonate Solid Sheet Strong Impact Resistant For Both Commercial

Product Specification

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.

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.
