Are polycarbonate clear PC sheets used for thermoforming resistant to UV rays, oxidation, aging, etc.?

Update:02-04-2024
Polycarbonate clear pc sheet for thermoforming usually have good weather resistance and can resist ultraviolet rays, oxidation, aging and other factors to a certain extent. Here are some features regarding its weather resistance:

UV resistance: Polycarbonate transparent sheets are usually added with UV stabilizers, which makes them have certain UV resistance and can maintain transparency and surface quality for a long time under the sun's ultraviolet irradiation. However, prolonged UV exposure may still cause yellowing or browning of the surface, especially if it is used outdoors for a long time.

Antioxidant properties: Polycarbonate transparent sheets have certain antioxidant properties and can resist the oxidation of oxygen and air. This allows it to keep the surface clean and shiny to a certain extent for a long time, and is not prone to oxidation, yellowing or loss of transparency.

Anti-aging properties: Polycarbonate transparent sheets have good anti-aging properties and can resist the influence of long-term use and environmental factors, maintaining good physical properties and appearance. However, long-term use and the influence of the external environment may still cause it to gradually age, causing micro cracks or hardening on the surface.

Although polycarbonate transparent sheets have certain weather resistance, a certain degree of UV exposure, oxidation and aging may still occur under certain environmental conditions. Therefore, when selecting and using polycarbonate transparent sheets, it is recommended to consider the actual use environment and conditions and take necessary protective measures, such as regular cleaning, use of UV anti-aging treatment, etc., to extend its service life and maintain a good appearance. state.
