What are the main categories of polycarbonate films?

Polycarbonate (PC) film is a colorless or yellowish thermoplastic engineering plastic that is amorphous, odorless, non-toxic, and highly transparent. It can be classified into various categories based on its different uses and performance requirements. Below, Dobesty will introduce you to the common categories and uses of PC films:

1. Transparent PC film: Transparent PC film has advantages such as high transparency, high strength, high heat resistance, and high weather resistance, and is mainly used in fields such as optical lenses, display panels, flat TV screens, and mobile phone screens.

2. Frosted PC film: Frosted PC film is mainly used in wear-resistant and soft lighting applications such as panels, labels, nameplates, instrument panels, and decorative panels in molds. It can effectively reduce surface highlights and have a clear printing effect.

3. Printing grade PC film: The printing grade PC film has good printing performance and flatness, and is mainly used in electronic labels, Membrane switch, panels and other fields.

4. Flame retardant grade PC film: Flame retardant PC film has excellent flame retardant performance and can be used for insulation in power systems, disk drives, keyboards, televisions/displays, and computer motherboards. Widely used for printing electronic components, electrical enclosures, switch panels, junction boxes, and charger enclosures, automotive instruments, and panels with flame retardant requirements. It can also be applied in the field of new energy batteries.

5. Optical grade PC film: Optical grade PC film has good optical purity, optical conductivity, and yellowing resistance, and can be used in the field of screen display. At the same time, with its unique characteristics of high transmittance, high refractive index, high impact resistance, dimensional stability, and easy processing and shaping, it can be used in the field of optical lenses such as electronic displays and lenses.

6. Functional PC film: Functional PC film has various special functions, such as anti-static, UV protection, hardening, antibacterial, privacy protection, etc., mainly used in fields such as architecture, automobiles, medical devices, etc.

Overall, PC films have a wide range of applications, covering multiple fields such as electronics, optical devices, architecture, automobiles, and medical devices, with different performance characteristics and applications.
