PC Sheet & Acrylic Sheet Manufacturer | Custom CNC Machining
PC Sheet vs. Acrylic Sheet — Did You Choose Right?
PC sheet (Polycarbonate) and acrylic sheet (PMMA, Polymethyl Methacrylate) are the two most widely used transparent/semi-transparent plastic sheets in industrial and commercial applications. They look similar, but their performance differs significantly:
- PC Sheet: Exceptional impact resistance (250× stronger than glass), high temperature resistance (-40°C~+130°C), difficult to machine, ideal for protective/industrial use
- Acrylic Sheet: High light transmittance (>92%), excellent surface gloss, easy to machine, ideal for display/advertising use
Choosing the wrong material not only increases costs but may also lead to performance failure. Chaorong Electronics supplies both materials and provides professional selection advice to help you find the best solution.
