| UVFPC-SO-U1 | 50 micron co-extruded UV protective layer on one side for outdoor application |
| UVFPC-SO-U1A | 50 micron co-extruded UV protective layer on the outside, anti-condensation treatment on the inside, it is for agricultural application |
| UVFPC-SO-U2 | 50 micron co-extruded UV protective layers are on both sides for outdoor application |
Flat polycarbonate sheets will soften if heated above 130°C, therefore, it is easy to thermoform to a certain shape. Sometimes, the heat is built-up by the high friction, you can use water or air to cool it.
We will use the wooden tray on the bottom of flat polycarbonate sheets, it is easy to carry by a forklift, please see the following images,
No. Colored flat polycarbonate sheet is co-extruded by the melt colored resin and clear resin, therefore, color polycarbonate sheet doesn’t discolor, and the UV coating layer is needed, if it is used outdoor or turn yellow.
UVPLASTIC can provide flat polycarbonate sheets with standard sizes, which can be found at product specifications. Otherwise, we can cut to size upon your requirement, the following table is the size capability,
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Max. Thickness | .787″ (20mm) |
| Max. Width | 8.69ft (2650mm) |

Of couse, the prices are same between clear and colored polycarbonate sheet.
Maybe some companies or distributors tell you that colored polycarbonate is more expensive than clear one. It is totally wrong, they hope you pay more to them. Otherwise, in all probability, their products made of the recycled raw materials.
Any way, you need to be careful!
Yes, you can warp the flat polycarbonate sheets, but it should subject to the min warp radius, which is 150 or 200 times more than their thickness.
Sometimes, UVPLASTIC warps the polycarbonate sheets as roll when delivering it, it offers more length for global clients, please see the following table:
| No | Product Name | Thickness (mm) | Length With One Roll |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Flat Solid Polycarbonate Sheet | 0.8 | 50 |
| 2 | Flat Solid Polycarbonate Sheet | 1 | 50 |
| 3 | Flat Solid Polycarbonate Sheet | 1.5 | 30 |
| 4 | Flat Solid Polycarbonate Sheet | 2 | 30 |
| 4 | Flat Solid Polycarbonate Sheet | 2.5 | 30 |
| 4 | Flat Solid Polycarbonate Sheet | 3 | 20 |
No, polycarbonate sheets will be damaged by some household solvents, such as Lysol, Pinesol, and Isopropanol alcohol. Using water and new cloth is the better way to lean polycarbonate sheets.
Yes, UVPLASTIC Polycarbonate Sheets can be thermoformed to shape by the standard equipment, the popular thermoforming processes are vacuum forming, free-blown forming, and line bending.
