PC Sheet FAQ
Question: How does PC Sheet compare to acrylic sheets?
Answer: PC Sheet offers superior impact resistance (about 30 times stronger than acrylic) and better temperature resistance. While acrylic may have slightly better clarity, PC Sheet is virtually unbreakable and can withstand much harsher conditions, making it ideal for safety-critical applications.
Question: What is the lifespan of outdoor PC Sheet?
Answer: Our UV-protected PC Sheet typically lasts 10-15 years outdoors without significant yellowing or degradation. The actual lifespan depends on environmental factors, but our premium coatings ensure maximum durability against weathering, UV radiation, and chemical exposure.
Question: Can PC Sheet be bent or formed?
Answer: Yes, PC Sheet can be cold bent (for simple curves) or thermoformed (for complex shapes). The minimum bending radius is approximately 150 times the sheet thickness. For thermoforming, we recommend heating to 150-160°C and using proper forming equipment to maintain optical quality.

Installation Tips for PC Sheet
For best results when installing PC Sheet:
- Allow for thermal expansion (3mm per meter for every 10°C temperature change)
- Use rubber gaskets or silicone sealants designed for polycarbonate
- Pre-drill holes 50% larger than fasteners to allow for movement
- Clean with mild soap and water only - avoid abrasive cleaners
- Install with the UV-protected side facing outward
