Polycarbonate (PC) printable sheets are high-performance thermoplastic sheets tailored for diverse printing applications across industrial and commercial fields. As one of the most reliable industrial thermoplastics, PC sheets combine excellent mechanical properties with outstanding print compatibility, making them a preferred choice for products requiring both aesthetic appeal and durable performance. Available in various surface finishes and custom specifications, these sheets seamlessly adapt to different printing technologies and secondary processing needs, delivering consistent quality for both functional parts and decorative components.
Exceptional Printability
The sheets come with optimized surface properties that ensure superior adhesion of inks and toners. They support multiple printing methods including screen printing, digital inkjet, laser printing, and thermal transfer. Both glossy and matte surface options are provided—glossy sheets enhance color vibrancy for eye-catching graphics, while matte sheets reduce glare and offer a premium texture ideal for precision labels and control panels. Special surface coatings can be customized to improve ink retention and resist smudging.
Outstanding Durability & Safety
Boasting exceptional impact resistance—far exceeding that of glass and ordinary plastics—these PC sheets remain intact even under sudden impact, avoiding fragmentation risks. They meet UL94 V0/V2 flame-retardant standards and hold E-class insulation performance, ensuring safe application in electrical and high-temperature environments. The material is non-toxic, compliant with ROHS regulations, and food-contact safe grades are available for packaging applications.
Excellent Environmental Adaptability
These sheets exhibit reliable temperature resistance, withstanding a wide range from -40°C to 120°C, and maintaining stability even under microwave heating conditions. Optional UV-resistant coatings block harmful ultraviolet rays, preventing yellowing and fading for long-term outdoor use—ideal for outdoor signs and automotive exterior decorations. They also feature excellent dimensional stability, with minimal deformation during printing, heating, or secondary processing.
Versatile Processability
Beyond printing, PC printable sheets support diverse secondary processes such as die-cutting, cold bending, thermoforming, and embossing. The minimum bending radius can reach 100 times the sheet thickness for cold bending, while thermoforming allows the creation of complex curved shapes for customized components like helmet visors and automotive interior trims. They can be produced in thicknesses ranging from 0.05mm to 5mm, with strict thickness tolerance control to meet precise processing requirements.
Superior Optical Performance
Transparent PC printable sheets achieve a light transmittance of up to 91%, ensuring printed graphics remain sharp and true-to-color without light distortion. Opaque and translucent variants are also available, providing options for light-shielding applications such as electronic device casings and backlit signs.
