Can polycarbonate (PC) also build a house? A new outdoor accommodation product: transparent starry room is an example.

Polycarbonate (PC) is a kind of polymer with carbonate groups in its molecular chain, which can be divided into aliphatic, aromatic, aliphatic-aromatic and other types according to the structure of ester groups. Among them, aliphatic and aliphatic-aromatic polycarbonates have low mechanical properties, which limits their application in engineering plastics.

At present, only aromatic polycarbonate has been industrialized. Due to its special structure, polycarbonate has become the fastest-growing general engineering plastic among the five engineering plastics.

The three major application fields of PC engineering plastics are glass assembly industry, automobile industry and electronic appliance industry, followed by industrial machinery parts, compact discs, packaging, computers and other office equipment, medical care, films, leisure and protective articles. PC can be used as a window glass for daily use.

PC laminates are widely used in protective windows of banks, embassies, detention centers and public places, and are used for aircraft cabin covers, lighting equipment, industrial safety baffles and bulletproof glass.

The PC board can also be used as various signs, such as gasoline pump dial, automobile dashboard, warehouse and outdoor commercial signs, point slip indicator, PC resin for automobile lighting system, dashboard system and interior decoration system, PC for front lampshade, front and rear fender reinforcement of automobile, mirror frame, door frame cover, joystick sheath, spoiler, junction box, socket, plug and sleeve, gasket, TV conversion device and telephone line bracket.

Low-load parts, which can also be made by PC, are used in household appliances motors, vacuum cleaners, shampoos, coffee machines, toasters, handles of electric tools, various gears, worm gears, shaft sleeves, guide rails and shelves in refrigerators. PC is also an ideal material for optical disk storage media.

PC bottles (containers) are transparent, light in weight, good in impact resistance and resistant to certain high temperature and corrosive solution washing. As a recyclable bottle (container), milk bottles are very common in life.

PC and PC alloys can be used as computer racks, housings, auxiliary machines and printer parts. The modified PC is resistant to high-energy radiation sterilization, cooking and baking disinfection, and can be used for blood collection instruments, blood oxygenators, surgical instruments, renal dialyzers, etc.

PC can be used as helmet and helmet, protective mask, sunglasses and sports goggles. PC film is widely used in printing charts, medical packaging and film commutator.

In addition to engineering applications, Guangzhou Zhu Xiaoyouqi Technology Co., Ltd. has also developed another use of PC-360-degree transparent starry room, which is a precedent for building houses with PC materials. This product explains the plasticity of PC materials from another angle.

The starry room uses the good light transmission performance of PC material (the light transmittance is as high as 90%), and takes 360-degree transparency as the highlight of the starry room to attract users' attention.

Characteristics of polycarbonate materials

In addition to good light transmission performance, PC material also has an ultraviolet-proof extrusion layer on its surface, which can prevent the resin from fatigue and yellowing caused by sunlight and ultraviolet rays. The surface extrusion layer has chemical bonds to absorb ultraviolet light and convert it into visible light. This material has a good stabilizing effect on plant photosynthesis (very suitable for protecting valuable works of art and exhibits from ultraviolet radiation). Exposure to sunlight is not easy to cause yellowing, fogging, or poor light transmittance. As an outdoor residence, you can enjoy the outdoor scenery anytime and anywhere.

The temperature resistance and flame retardancy of PC will not cause quality deterioration such as deformation in the temperature range of -40℃-+ 120℃; According to the national GB8624-97 test, it belongs to the resistance grade B 1, and there is no fire drop and toxic gas. As a shell material, it has excellent weather resistance.

The impact strength of PC resistance board is 250-300 times that of ordinary glass, and it has good sound insulation effect, so it is the first choice material for highway sound insulation barrier in the world. The starry sky room is built outdoors, and the room is safe and stable, which greatly ensures the safety and comfort of residents.
