Polycarbonate Cylinder*™*(PC)™
February 23rd, 2008 by polycarbonate| Polycarbonate Cylinder*™*(PC)™ |
| Polycarbonate Cylinder*TM* as Pressure-Containers can be used for Fire Extinguishers, Aerosol Sprays for insect killers, Hair Sprays or Topics and also for Spray(Aerosol) Types of Fire Extinguishers, including Shaving Foam Can/Container; |
| Main Characteristics of Polycarbonate: |
| a. Transparent/Nude/Visible/Clean |
| b. Strong enough for +140C -60C |
| c. Weather-resistant |
| d. Impact-Resistant |
| e. Heat-Resistant |
| f. UV Sustainable |
| g. Engineering Plastics from GE, Dow-Chemical, Buyer |
| h. Tested in Aero-spaces by Astronaut Mr. Amstrong in the Moon. |
| i. Newly improved by Lexan Calibre and Mikatron |
| Applications: |
| 1. Fire Extinguishers, Dry Chemicalor Wet Chemicals |
| 2. Pressure-Containers, replacing Aluminum or Steel Cans, for Insect Killers or Hair Sprays/Topics |
| 3. Cooking Gas(Butan or LPG) Containers instead of Steel cans |
| 4. Spray types of Fire Extinguishers, |
| containing Halon, AFFF, Dry Chemicals or Liquids(Reinforced Surffectants) |
| 5. Any Other application without Pressure Containing |
| Other Chemical properties of PC; |
| 1) Impact strength: The impact strength of solid PC sheets is 250 times |
| that of glass, and the impact strength of hollow PC sheets is 80 times |
| that of glass |
| 2) Light weight: the weight of a solid PC sheet is only about half of |
| glass, and the weight of a hollow PC sheet is only about one twelfth |
| at the same thickness |
| 3) Transparency: The light transmission of a 3mm solid PC sheet is 88%, |
| and the light transmission of a6mm hollow PC sheet is 80% |
| 4) UV-protection: A PC sheet is co-extruded with a high-density ultra |
| violet ray that also keeps the PC sheet from discoloring |
| 5) Resistance to weather: A PC sheet has resistance to bad weather and |
| maintains excellent properties in a wide temperature range from -40 |
| to 120oC |
| 6) Inhibiting condensation: When the outdoor temperature is 0oC |
| and the indoor temperature is 23oC, the PC sheet will be |
| condensation up to 80% humidity |
| 7) Thermal insulation: The K-value of glass is 1.2 times that of solid |
| a PC sheet and is 1.7 times that of a hollow PC sheet. PC sheets |
| saves energy while preventing heat loss |
 Sound insulation: The hollow form and polycarbonate resin offers |
| significant advantage to that of glass |
| 9) Flame Resistance: Through testing by the National Center for Quality |
| Supervision & Testing of Fire Building Materials, the material is |
| rated as Class B1 according to QB8624-1997 standards |
| 10) Easy installation: A PC sheet can be bent while hot or cold and can |
| be used on curved roves and windows. The minimum radius of curvature |
| of a PC sheet is 175 times of its thickness. |
| Technical Features: |
| 1) Impact strength: 850J/m |
| 2) Light transmission: 88% |
| 3) Specific gravity: 1.2 g/cm3 |
| 4) Coefficient of thermal expansion: 0.065 |
| 5) Temperature: -40 to 120oC |
| 6) Heat conductivity: 2.3-3.9 W/m2 |
| 7) Tensile strength: >602 |
| Flexural strength: 1002 |
| 9) Modulus of elasticity: 2,400Mpa |
| 10) Tensile street at break: >65Mpa |
| 11) Elongation at break: >100% |
| 12) Specific heat: 1.16J/kg.K |
| 13) Heat deflection temperature: 140oC |
| 14) Soundproofing: (6mm solid): 20db |
