a. Used in the 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, giving them obvious technical performance advantages over inorganic glass traditionally used in the construction industry.
b. Used in the automobile manufacturing industry. Polycarbonate has good impact resistance, thermal distortion resistance, good weather resistance and high hardness. Therefore, it is suitable for the production of various parts of cars and light trucks, mainly focusing on lighting systems, instrument panels, heating panels, cleaning equipment, etc. Frosters and polycarbonate alloy bumpers, etc.
c. Used in the production of 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 kidney hemodialysis equipment and other equipment that require operation and operation under transparent and intuitive conditions. Medical equipment that requires repeated disinfection. Such as the production of high-pressure syringes, surgical masks, disposable dental appliances, blood separators, etc.
d. Used in aviation and aerospace fields. In recent years, with the rapid development of aviation and aerospace technology, the requirements for various components in aircraft and spacecraft have continued to increase, which has led to an increasing number of applications of PCs 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 in the packaging field. In recent years, a new growth point that has emerged in the field of packaging 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.
f. Used in electronic and electrical fields. 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 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 tool casings, bodies, brackets, refrigerator freezer drawers and vacuum cleaner parts. 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.
g. Used in the field of optical lenses. Polycarbonate occupies an extremely important position 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. Optical lenses made of optical grade polycarbonate can not only be used in cameras, microscopes, telescopes and optical testing instruments, but also can be used in movie projector lenses, copier lenses, infrared auto-focus projector lenses, laser beam printer lenses, and Various prisms, polygonal reflectors and many other office equipment and home appliances have a very 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. In recent years, the average annual growth rate of polycarbonate consumption in the world's eyewear industry has remained above 20%, showing great market vitality
h. Basic material for optical discs. In recent years, 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.
