PC is polyester carbonate plastic, is a kind of engineering plastics, with good transparency, high strength, good weather resistance, and PVC is polyvinyl chloride plastic, is a kind of general-purpose plastics, without plasticisers hard texture, both can make sheet products, so which is good for PC board and PVC board?

PC material is a commonly used material for solar panels and has the following advantages:

1. Compared with glass, PC endurance board is lighter, so it has advantages in applications where weight is limited or structural load needs to be reduced.

2. PC endurance board can withstand high temperatures, has good weather resistance, and is not easily affected by ultraviolet radiation and oxidation.

3. It has good light transmittance and can transmit a high proportion of visible light, providing good lighting effects. It is suitable for applications that require transparent or translucent materials.

4. PC endurance board has good flame retardant properties, is self-extinguishing, is not easy to burn in a fire, and can effectively delay the spread of flames.

5. PC endurance boards can be processed through thermoforming, stamping, cutting and other methods to adapt to various complex shapes and design needs.

In addition to its advantages, PC boards also have certain disadvantages. For example, compared with ordinary plastic sheets, PC endurance boards have a higher cost and are relatively more expensive. The surface is relatively soft and easily scratched.

PC endurance board has low corrosion resistance to certain chemicals, such as some organic solvents and strong acids. And the surface resistance is low, which easily accumulates static electricity and absorbs dust and dirt.

At the same time, the thermal expansion coefficient of PC endurance board is relatively high. If it does not match the thermal expansion coefficient of other materials, it may lead to stress accumulation and deformation.

The advantages of PVC boards are that they are lightweight and easy to construct, have good moisture-proof and waterproof properties, are cheap, have good scrub resistance, and are strong and durable. However, PVC boards will have discoloration problems after being used for a period of time, and their high temperature resistance is not as good as PC boards. Overall, PC boards are better than PVC boards, but PVC boards also have some advantages of their own.

PVC boards are lightweight, waterproof and moisture-proof, easy to install, low-priced, and waterproof and moisture-proof. After adding flame-retardant materials, they can be extinguished immediately after leaving the fire and are safer to use. PVC plastic board is a medium-density board with a very smooth surface and is easier to shape. It is lightweight and wear-resistant. High-quality PVC plastic board is also an environmentally friendly material.

The disadvantage of PVC plastic boards is that their performance is not stable enough. They are prone to yellowing, aging, and deformation after being used for a long time. Generally, they will look very old after 3-5 years of use. Moreover, some PVC plastic boards may be added during production. Harmful additives, so discarded PVC plastic boards are not very environmentally friendly and not easy to recycle. If you buy low-quality PVC plastic boards, it will also cause certain harm to the human body.

In fact, there are some differences in the scope of use of PVC and PC materials. PVC is mostly used to manufacture doors and windows, energy-saving materials, wood-plastic products, anti-corrosion pipes, wall decoration and other products. PC is often used in the glass assembly industry, automobile industry, electronic and electrical appliances and other industries. Therefore, before choosing products made of these two materials, you need to first look at your scope of use.
