Plastic is an essential part of our everyday lives, even if we don’t realise it from the packaging that our food comes in, to the interiors of our cars, to the rims of our glasses.
There’s a myriad of kinds of plastic to meet the myriad of things that we use plastic for, and polycarbonate sheet is one of the most useful kinds of plastic available.
Polycarbonate sheet is so useful because it can be used in a variety of different industries to create a variety of different items, it’s easy to transport and very sturdy so does not break easily, and it is heat resistant, which means it can be used outside or in factories.
Polycarbonate sheets are versatile
Much like other kinds of plastic on the market, polycarbonate sheets are extremely versatile and suited to a wide range of applications.
Polycarbonate sheets can be used:
- For safety screens
- For glazing windows
- For building skylights
- For installing electrical insulation
- For signage
Lightweight and transportable
One of the main reasons polycarbonate sheets are so versatile and useful is because they are extremely lightweight and can be moved from place to place easily.
Polycarbonate sheets are easily transportable because they are light and also because they are almost completely shatter resistant. Polycarbonate sheet is highly impact resistant, 250 times more impact resistant than glass is.
Withstand a variety of temperatures
Polycarbonate sheets can withstand extreme cold and extreme heat, which means it’s perfect for use outdoors, for things like signage or roofing. Polycarbonate is also an alternative for doors or windows because it is resistant to extreme temperatures and it is less breakable than glass.
Polycarbonate sheets will last a long time
As cost is a consideration for everyone, whether they are building a sign or a greenhouse, the initial outlay and cost of polycarbonate sheets might seem higher than alternatives, however, given it is so durable and long-lasting, the investment is worth it in the long term. You won’t have to replace polycarbonate sheets and they will withstand the elements, along with any other external factors like chemicals.
