What factors affect the transmittance of hollow polycarbonate sheets?

You should be familiar with the product of the hollow polycarbonate sheet. One of the major features of this sheet is that the light transmittance is relatively good, but many people also reported that the light transmittance of the sheets he purchased was not good, and the light transmittance of the sheets was not good. What factors are affected? Next, I will introduce it to you in detail.

1. Color

The transparent hollow polycarbonate sheet is obviously better than the black product. Because the heavier the color, the more sunlight the sheet absorbs, so the light entering the interior will be worse. the worse.

2. Raw materials

If the hollow polycarbonate sheets you buy are made of 100% virgin materials, the light transmittance of the sheets must be very good. The surface of the product produced by adding the recycled material is some black, which will greatly affect the light transmittance of the hollow polycarbonate sheet.

3. Thickness

The light transmittance of double-layer products and five-layer products is obviously different, that is, the thicker the sheet, the worse the light transmittance. Since the inside of the sheet is hollow, the light will be refracted through each layer of the sheet. The more layers there are, the more refraction will pass through, and the light transmittance will be worse and worse.

4. Model

There are many types of hollow polycarbonate sheets, such as rice-shaped, lock, honeycomb, special-shaped, etc. The ordinary type has better light transmittance than the other types, because the other types of sheets are more complicated and more refraction will pass through. If you want to buy hollow polycarbonate sheets with better light transmission, you can choose ordinary type.
