Clear Blue Green Bronze 2.1m*5.8m Honeycomb Polycarbonate Sheet Lightweight High Strength and Excellent Structural Performance for Roofing

Key Components & Structure

1. Face Sheets (Skins):​ Typically 0.5mm to 3mm thick sheets of solid polycarbonate. They provide the smooth surface, weather resistance, and initial impact protection.
2. Honeycomb Core:​ A network of hexagonal cells made from thin polycarbonate foil. The hexagonal shape is nature's most efficient geometric structure for distributing weight and force (also seen in beehives). The cells are usually 6mm to 25mm in height (panel thickness).
3. Materials:​ Polycarbonate

Core Material Properties (Derived from Polycarbonate)

• Extreme Impact Resistance:​ Its most famous trait. Polycarbonate is about 250 times stronger than glass of the same thickness. The honeycomb design further dissipates impact energy.
• Lightweight:​ Up to 60% lighter than solid polycarbonate or glass of equivalent thickness and rigidity. This makes handling and installation easier.
• High Rigidity-to-Weight Ratio:​ The honeycomb core provides exceptional stiffness (resistance to bending) without the mass of a solid sheet.
• Thermal Insulation:​ The trapped air within the sealed honeycomb cells creates excellent thermal insulation (low U-value), reducing heat transfer.
• Good Light Transmission:​ Can be made in transparent, translucent (opal), or colored versions. Transparent grades offer diffuse, shadow-reducing light.
• Weather & UV Resistance:​ High-quality sheets have co-extruded UV protection on the outer surface to prevent yellowing and degradation from sunlight.
• Temperature Resistance:​ Performs well in a wide range, typically from -40°C to +120°C.
• Flame Retardancy:​ Many grades are available with UL94 V-0, V-2, or B-s1,d0 ratings, making them suitable for safety-conscious applications.
• Chemical Resistance:​ Resistant to many chemicals, but can be attacked by strong solvents, alkalies, and some hydrocarbons.

Common Applications

• Protective Glazing:​ Where security and vandalism are concerns (e.g., bus shelters, phone booths, prison glazing, security windows).
• Machine & Safety Guards:​ In factories for machinery shielding, requiring high impact resistance and clarity.
• Agricultural & Industrial Roofing/Walling:​ For greenhouses, skylights, warehouse roofs, and partitions where light transmission, insulation, and durability are key.
• Signage & Displays:​ For lightweight, durable, and back-lit signs.
• Transport Interiors:​ In caravans, buses, trains, and yachts for partitioning and wall lining.
• Sports Facilities:​ For protective barriers in ice rinks, hockey rinks, and stadiums.

• Furniture & Design:​ Used in modern furniture, dividers, and architectural features for a high-tech aesthetic.

  

  

  

  

Advantages vs. Alternatives

Important Considerations & Limitations

• Scratching:​ Like all polycarbonates, the surface is softer than glass and can scratch. Abrasion-resistant coatings are often applied.
• Chemical Sensitivity:​ Can be damaged by certain solvents and strong alkalies. Requires careful cleaning (mild soap and water).
• Thermal Expansion:​ Has a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion. Installation must allow for expansion/contraction.
• Visual Appearance:​ Not perfectly optically clear like glass. The honeycomb structure is visible, giving a "cellular" look, especially in transparent sheets.
• Machining:​ Can be cut and drilled with standard woodworking tools, but requires proper techniques (sharp blades, supportive backing) to prevent cracking or melting.
