Question:

What is the difference between polycarbonate (PC board) and FTP lighting board?

Consult the polycarbonate, which is commonly known as the PC board, and what is the main difference between the FRP and the lighting board, thanks to its material characteristics and scope. Thank you!

Answer:

Polycarbonate (PC) engineering plastics plate has high transparency, high impact, high strength, high creep resistance, excellent dimensional stability, excellent low temperature and heat resistance, flame resistance, processability, insulation and other excellent properties of new materials, anti-static PC plate also known as anti-static polycarbonate plate, substrate polycarbonate (Polycarbonate), English abbreviation PC. Widely used in the building decoration industry, transportation (highway, rail, civil aviation) industry, advertising, agriculture and electronics, electrical and other fields.FRP daylighting board has high rigidity, good toughness, easy construction and installation, good flame retardancy, and flame retardant resin. The thermal conductivity of sheet is only 0.18w/m.k, and it has corrosion resistance. The light transmittance is 80%-85%. FRP lighting board is widely used in various kinds of steel structures, grid structures, old factories and warehouses, and the buildings are added with the corridor between the building and the building
PC sunlight plate and FRP daylighting tile difference, material composition explanation 1, PC sunlight plate is by polycarbonate surface coextrusion 50um layer anti ultraviolet UV layer, hollow structure extrusion high performance lighting material. 2, FRP lighting board is a glass fiber reinforced polyester (FRP lighting board), commonly known as glass fiber reinforced plastic, also known as transparent tile, which is mainly composed of film, unsaturated resin and glass fiber. Two, material difference 1, polycarbonate is the most excellent engineering plastics, it has light, refractory, high impact strength, high transmittance, high stability, finished products easy to bend and other characteristics. And it is a kind of energy saving and environmental protection material. It is the preferred material for making daylighting materials. 2, FRP's main material is unsaturated resin, its high strength and flammable, resin itself at 50 degrees Celsius, easy to decompose, stability is poor. Resins are chemically synthesized, using styrene solvents and are toxic. Three, performance difference 1, light transmittance: PC sunlight board and FRP lighting tile transmittance is about 85%, but PC sunlight board has high permeability, no fog, that is called "misty" feeling. FRP daylighting tile is a composite material, glass fiber block the view, plus resin itself permeability is not enough, daylighting tile overall permeability is not good, fog is big, the line of sight feels misty. 2, insulation: heat transfer coefficient PC is 0.2W/m.k, the heat transfer coefficient of FRP is 0.4w/m.k, PC insulation was better than FRP times, PC sun board with hollow structure, so the overall insulation of PC sun board is much better than that of FRP lighting tile. From another angle, daylighting material adopts PC sunlight board, which is more energy saving than FRP lighting tile.
