ITEM | PMMA (Acrylic) | PC (Polycarbonate) |
Proportion | 1.19 | 1.2 |
Impact resistance | Fragile | 30 times stronger than acrylic |
Transmittance | 92% | 88% |
Processing temperature | Under 80°C | Under 120°C |
Water absorption | 0.3~0.4% | 0.1~0.2% |
Under prolonged UV light exposure | Not easy to yellow |
easy to yellow, Need to add UV absorber layer |
Flame retardant degree | Low (UL 94 level HB) | High (UL 94 level V0) |
Selling cost | Ordinary | More Expensive |
