Polycarbonate has grown so widely in popularity
that it is being used in almost
every architectural structure that requires
transparency or semi-transparency. The best
examples of the biggest structures built using
polycarbonate roofing sheets include the
Municipal Sports Hall in Spain, Casa
Polycarbonate in Spain, House for Tousuienn in
Japan, The Mansio in UK, The Leff Art Studio in
USA, and the Gwangmyeong Upcycle Art Center in
South Korea. With the rising usage of
polycarbonate in such huge buildings, people have
started depending upon this material to build
various types of residential and commercial
structures, thus boosting the polycarbonate
roofing sheets market! Other sectors are also
making use of this unique material.
The construction industry
Polycarbonate has an edge over glass and
other plastic materials, owing to its
thermal insulation ability and low installation
costs involved. They are so flexible and light in
weight that it becomes very easy to build almost
any kind of structure with this material. The
best application where polycarbonate roofing
sheets are being used is greenhouses both hobby
and commercial. Technically treated
polycarbonate sheets are highly efficient
under the strong UV rays of the sun, which is why
the material is gaining such huge popularity in
greenhouses. It keeps away the harmful UV rays
while bringing in the best amount of good
sunlight indoors, which helps the plants to grow
better and remain healthy for longer. Thus,
polycarbonate has proven to be the ideal
greenhouse material choice. Polycarbonate

is also chemical resistant and has low
flammability levels. This is why it is
also a popular material used in areas that are
prone to fire, or where there is a lot of
chemical usage involved. All in all,
polycarbonates properties are augmenting the
consumption of the material in recent times.
The medical industry
Polycarbonate resins are cheaper than other
thermoplastic resins like PSU, PPSU, PEEK,
and PAEK, which are used in the medical sector
for various applications. Moreover, certain
grades of polycarbonate can be used for
applications that involve a limited number of
sterilization cycles during their lifespan. When
antimicrobial additives are added to
polycarbonate, the usage of the material is
further enhanced in the medical sector. This is
why polycarbonate is ruling in the medical
equipment segment too!
Other industries
Polycarbonate sheets are being widely
used in many other sectors too other
than construction and medical. These
include aerospace, military, agriculture,
automotive, electrical, and electronics. Although
the construction industry is estimated to be the
largest user of polycarbonate roofing sheets,
these other end-user industries are also
extensively using the material in various
applications. Whatever your application and
industry, if you are planning to use
