Cellular polycarbonate is a material that has a wide area of application in construction, in the field of design, in the advertising business. It is also used in optics, agriculture and in other areas of activity. The widespread use of cellular polycarbonate can be explained by the fact that this is a relatively inexpensive material that has, along with a presentable appearance, and excellent operational characteristics.
The name of the material-“Cellular polycarbonate”-is due to its internal structure, which resembles the structure of bee cells. In most cases, sheets of this material are made up of two (or more) parallel thin plates and the partitions connecting them. Inner voids formed by plates and partitions are filled with air, which gives cellular polycarbonate high thermal insulating properties. Such elements of the structure of the material as stiffener ribs provide sufficient constructive strength of the sheet with slight weight.
The properties of polycarbonate are such that the building structures made from it are resistant to direct solar radiation, high indicators for light transmission (up to 89%) and good heat -insulating properties. Sheets of cellular polycarbonate retain their main properties during operation in the temperature range from -40 to +120 degrees. Cellular polycarbonate is able to withstand significant loads that occur when exposed to climatic factors: wind, snow and others. When installing the material, it is allowed to flex without the need for heating.
Based on the features of cellular polycarbonate, its light transmitting and heat -insulating properties: greenhouses, winter gardens, greenhouses, visors, roofs of terraces, arched roofs, etc. D. This material can also be used for stained glass or glazing of balconies and interior doors. And partitions from cellular polycarbonate between the bathroom and shower can become an original decoration of the bathroom.
In addition to construction, this impact -resistant, reliable and decorative material is increasingly used for decorating windows, exhibition stands and for advertising purposes – it is good for the manufacture of external and light advertising stands.
