Both the hollow polycarbonate sheet and the solid polycarbonate sheet belong to the PC series. For customers who have never used it or know little about it, they will feel that the two types of panels are similar, but in terms of practical applications, the two are quite different. Therefore, Understanding their differences is extremely important for application selection. Let’s take a look at their differences and options together.
In short, polycarbonate solid sheet is PC solid board, single-layer solid; but the price is higher, PC sunlight polycarbonate sheet is also called hollow pc sheet, as the literal meaning is that the center is hollow, it has single-layer, double-layer or even multi-layer and It is hollow; its sound insulation and heat insulation performance is much better than that of solid ones, and it is not easy to cause cracks due to thermal expansion and contraction, but the pressure bearing is not as good as that of solid polycarbonate sheet. It is usually better for canopies, carports and greenhouses A material is affordable for generalization. It can be distinguished from the weight. Because the polycarbonate hollow sheet is hollow, the material used is relatively small, and the solid sheet with the same thickness and area is much heavier than the hollow polycarbonate sheet.
Hollow polycarbonate sheets: The main use is for lighting sheds. Its sound insulation and heat insulation effect is much better than that of solid ones, and it is not easy to cause cracks due to thermal expansion and contraction. But the pressure bearing is not as good as that of the solid pc sheet. The pressure bearing of the solid polycarbonate sheet is very good, and the hammer will not rot. Of course, the sun shed does not bear much pressure, and once it is installed, there is no pressure on it.
Solid polycarbonate sheet: The main purpose is advertising light boxes. Advertising light boxes are rarely used for more than ten years. Therefore, solid polycarbonate sheets generally have less UV layer, which leads to poor sun resistance and easy aging. Adding UV layer under the sun is more resistant to sunlight than compression. It is more critical, the solid polycarbonate sheet that is not fast and hard will also age quickly. Solid slabs are more prone to cracking than hollow slabs, especially at drilled locations.
It is recommended to confirm the use when purchasing PC products: the canopy should try to choose a PC hollow polycarbonate sheet with a UV layer, and advertising products and those that need to withstand heavy pressure should choose a solid polycarbonate sheet without UV. Don’t blindly think that a solid one is definitely better than a hollow one, it depends on the use. If the solid polycarbonate sheet is also made of imported raw materials and UV co-extrusion like the hollow polycarbonate sheet, then the solid polycarbonate sheet must be durable, and the price will be several times different. If the temporary turnover shed turnover box is used, please choose the hollow polycarbonate sheet without UV, and you can request the manufacturer to customize it according to your own use situation, which can save a lot of costs.
So, now you know how to choose between polycarbonate hollow sheets and polycarbonate solid sheets?
