Blindfold. PC film is widely used in printing charts, medical packaging, and membrane commutators.
The application and development of polycarbonate is developing in the direction of high composite, high function, specialization and serialization. It has been introduced into optical discs, automobiles, office equipment, boxes, packaging, medicine, lighting, films, etc. Various products have their own dedicated grades.
What are the applications of polycarbonate (PC)? Building materials industry
Polycarbonate sheets have good light transmittance, impact resistance, resistance to ultraviolet radiation, and the dimensional stability of their products and good molding and processing properties, making them better than those in the construction industry. Traditionally used inorganic glass has obvious technical performance advantages. China has more than 20 polycarbonate building material hollow board production lines, with an annual demand for polycarbonate of about 70,000 tons, reaching 140,000 tons by 2005.
What are the applications of polycarbonate (PC)? Automobile manufacturing industry
Polycarbonate has good impact resistance, thermal distortion resistance, good weather resistance and high hardness, so it is suitable for the production of various parts for cars and light trucks. It mainly focuses on lighting systems, instrument panels, heating panels, defrosters and polycarbonate alloy bumpers.
According to data from developed countries, the proportion of polycarbonate used in electronic, electrical and automobile manufacturing is 40% to 50%. China’s use ratio in this field only accounts for about 10%. Electronic, electrical and automobile manufacturing The industry is a rapidly developing pillar industry in China, and the demand for polycarbonate in these fields will be huge in the future. China has a large number of automobiles and a large demand, so the application of polycarbonate in this field has great potential for expansion.
What are the applications of polycarbonate (PC)? Medical Devices
Because polycarbonate products can withstand steam, cleaning agents, heat and large-dose radiation sterilization without yellowing or deterioration in physical properties, they are widely used in artificial kidneys and blood In dialysis equipment and other medical equipment that need to be operated under transparent, intuitive conditions and require repeated sterilization. Such as the production of high-pressure syringes, surgical masks, disposable dental appliances, blood separators, etc.
What are the applications of polycarbonate (PC)? Aerospace
With the rapid development of aviation and aerospace technology, the requirements for various components in aircraft and spacecraft are constantly increasing, which has led to the increasing application of PC in this field. According to statistics, there are 2,500 polycarbonate parts used in one Boeing aircraft alone, and a single aircraft consumes about 2 tons of polycarbonate. On the spacecraft, hundreds of polycarbonate parts of different configurations reinforced with glass fiber and astronaut protective equipment are used.
What are the applications of polycarbonate (PC)? Packaging field
A new growth point in the packaging field is various types of water storage bottles that can be re-sterilized and used. Because polycarbonate products have the advantages of light weight, good impact resistance and transparency, and do not deform and remain transparent when washed with hot water and corrosive solutions, PC bottles have completely replaced glass bottles in some fields. It is predicted that as people pay more and more attention to the quality of drinking water, the growth rate of polycarbonate usage in this area will remain above 10%, and is expected to reach 60,000 tons by 2005.
What are the applications of polycarbonate (PC)? Electronics industry
Because polycarbonate has good and constant electrical insulation in a wide range of temperature and humidity, it is an excellent insulating material. At the same time, its good flame retardancy and dimensional stability make it a broad application field in the electronic and electrical industry.
Polycarbonate resin is mainly used in the production of various food processing machinery, power tools, etc.��, body, bracket, refrigerator freezer drawer and vacuum cleaner parts, etc. Moreover, polycarbonate materials have also shown extremely high use value for important components in computers, video recorders and color televisions that require high precision parts.
What are the applications of polycarbonate (PC)? Optical lenses
Polycarbonate plays an extremely important role in this field due to its unique characteristics of high light transmittance, high refractive index, high impact resistance, dimensional stability and easy processing and molding. s position. Optical lenses made of optical grade polycarbonate can not only be used in cameras, microscopes, telescopes and optical testing instruments, but can also be used in movie projector lenses, copier zinc carbonate hydroxide lenses, infrared auto-focus projector lenses, laser beams, etc. Printer lenses, as well as various prisms, polygonal reflectors and many other office equipment and home appliances, have an extremely broad application market.
Another important application area of polycarbonate in optical lenses is as a lens material for children’s glasses, sunglasses, safety glasses and adult glasses. The average annual growth rate of polycarbonate consumption in the world’s eyewear industry has remained above 20%, showing great market vitality.
What are the applications of polycarbonate (PC)? Optical disc manufacturing industry
With the rise of the information industry, optical discs made of optical-grade polycarbonate, as a new generation of audio and video information storage media, are developing rapidly at an extremely fast speed. Polycarbonate has become the main raw material for the world’s optical disc manufacturing industry due to its excellent performance characteristics. The amount of polycarbonate consumed by the world’s optical disc manufacturing industry has exceeded 20% of the overall consumption of polycarbonate, and its average annual growth rate exceeds 10%. China’s optical disc production is growing rapidly. According to figures released by the State Administration of Press and Publication, there were 748 optical disc production lines in the country in 2002, with an annual consumption of about 80,000 tons of optical-grade polycarbonate, all of which were imported. Therefore, the application prospects of polycarbonate in the field of optical disc manufacturing are extremely broad.
