Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheets
Polycarbonate sheets are fabricated in manufacturing companies using different techniques.
Manufacturing companies customize polycarbonate sheets for specific applications using the following methods; laser cutting, polycarbonate sheet printing, thermoforming, cutting, bending, bonding, sanding and polishing.
We&#;d explain these techniques employed in the fabrication process
Polycarbonate thermoforming is one of the most challenging fabricating processes because it requires a lot of precaution in following a well-defined procedure.
Thermoforming involves heating the polycarbonate sheet to a temperature below its boiling point against a mold so that it retains the specifications of the mold.
It is often carried out at a temperature of above 150&#;.
Heating the thermoplastic sheet turns the polycarbonate glassy and liquid enough to run over the mold.
It then takes the shape of the mold, leaving you to trim out excesses after the process is completed.
This process is very practical, and it is important that you ensure to follow the critical process modifications involved in using this technique.
Polycarbonate bonding simply means binding polycarbonate sheets.
The PC sheets are bound using an adhesive.
Polycarbonates can be easily bound with other materials, like wood, metal, and other polycarbonates.
For this technique, you need to choose the right adhesive for your polycarbonate panelss, while considering the chemical resistance of the polycarbonate sheet, the bond strength you want and the final appearance you would like the bonded sheets to have.

Polycarbonate sheets can be easily bent due to their flexibility.
They are bent using bending machines that exert force on the surface of the polycarbonate sheets.
The thickness of the sheet often determines the amount of pressure that will be applied to it during the bending process.
There are different methods of bending, cold curving, hotline bending, and cold line bending.
When bending polycarbonates, it is important that you take the necessary precautions.
Don&#;t use sharp tools or force the polycarbonate panels to bend else you might damage the sheets.

Cutting polycarbonate sheets is done using tools such as saws, lasers, water jets.
This process is simple and should be done accurately as possible.
You can have your polycarbonate sheets cut to size by a manufacturer for you to get the exact specifications you would need for your business.
Cutting techniques are chosen based on the thickness, and size needed.
Polycarbonate sheets are mostly cut by saws; table saws, band saws, circular saws, etc.
We have found that PC sheets are best cut by a circular saw, but it should be monitored to get the best cut possible.
For shapes that would not be easily made by saws, we turn to lasers to make such delicate cuts.
Laser-Cutting Polycarbonate Sheets
Polycarbonate sheets can be cut using laser machines, which are widely popular in the manufacturing industry.
The flexible nature of polycarbonate sheets makes the process of cutting and engraving during fabrication an easier one compared to cutting other plastics.
Laser machines cut polycarbonate panels using a beam directed at the sheet.
The infra-red radiation generated through the beam removes the undesired section by melting and burning it away.
Laser cutting is a great alternative to use as it can fabricate polycarbonate sheets into shapes and sizes that may be too tactical for other methods of fabrication.
This technique is very economical for cutting PC sheets in small sizes, and it produces very accurate results.
Polycarbonate sheet printing technique is ideal for companies who want to brand their logos or project information on the sheets.
This method can be used to imprint graphics or texts.
Polycarbonate printing machines come in varieties with different specifications ranging from high definition to color printing machines.
They can print large sheets and even produce graphic panels on both sides of the sheet.
With the technology of digital printers and silk screen printers, you can choose the ideal printer for your requirements, be it large quantity production or graphic printing.
To successfully print polycarbonate sheets, it is important that you pay attention to the manufacturer&#;s manual in order to avoid issues arising from incompatibility.
