The application of polycarbonate PC

The application and development of polycarbonate is to develop in the direction of high composite, high function, specialization and serialization, and has launched a variety of special grades for optical discs, automobiles, office equipment, boxes, packaging, medicine, lighting, film and other products.

Building materials industry

Polycarbonate sheet has good light transmission, impact resistance, resistance to ultraviolet radiation and the dimensional stability of its products and good molding processing performance, so that it has obvious technical performance advantages over inorganic glass traditionally used in the construction industry.

Automobile manufacturing industry

Polycarbonate has good impact resistance and thermal distortion resistance, good weather resistance and high hardness, so it is suitable for the production of various parts of cars and light trucks, and its application is mainly concentrated in the lighting system, instrument panel, heating plate, defroster and polycarbonate alloy bumper.

Medical device

Because polycarbonate products can withstand steam, cleaning agents, heating and high doses of radiation disinfection without yellow and degradation of physical properties, they are widely used in artificial kidney hemodialysis equipment and other medical equipment that needs to be operated under transparent, intuitive conditions and require repeated disinfection. Such as the production of high pressure syringes, surgical masks, disposable dental appliances, blood separators and so on.

Aviation and aerospace

With the rapid development of aviation and aerospace technology, the requirements for various components in aircraft and spacecraft continue to improve, making the application of PC in this field is also increasing. According to statistics, there are 2,500 polycarbonate parts used in only one Boeing aircraft, and the single machine consumes about 2 tons of polycarbonate. On the spacecraft, hundreds of different configurations and fiberglass reinforced polycarbonate components are used, as well as astronaut protective equipment.

Packaging field

A new growth point in the packaging field is the various models of water bottles that can be re-sterilized and used. Because polycarbonate products have the advantages of light weight, impact resistance and good transparency, no deformation and transparency when washed with hot water and corrosive solutions, PC bottles have completely replaced glass bottles in some areas.

Electronic appliance

Because polycarbonate has good and constant electrical insulation over a wide range of temperature and humidity, it is an excellent insulating material. At the same time, its good flame resistance and dimensional stability, so that it has formed a broad field of application in the electronic and electrical industry.

Polycarbonate resin is mainly used in the production of various food processing machinery, power tool shell, body, bracket, refrigerator freezer drawer and vacuum cleaner parts. And for the important parts of computers, video recorders and color TV sets with high accuracy requirements, polycarbonate materials have also shown high value.

Optical lens

Polycarbonate occupies a very important position in this field because of its unique characteristics of high transmittance, high refractive index, high impact resistance, dimensional stability and easy machining.

The optical lens made of optically grade polycarbonate can not only be used for cameras, microscopes, telescopes and optical testing instruments, but also for movie projector lenses, photocopier lenses, infrared autofocus projector lenses, laser beam printer lenses, as well as various prisms, multi-sided mirrors and many other office equipment and home appliances, and its application market is very broad.

Another important application area of polycarbonate in optical lenses is as a lens material for children's glasses, sunglasses and safety goggles and adult glasses. The average annual growth rate of polycarbonate consumption in the world glasses industry has been maintained at more than 20%, showing great market vitality.
