Cellular polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a type of thermoplastic. Its history began in the middle of the 19th century, when the German scientist A. Einhron, while conducting experiments with carbonic acid, accidentally isolated this substance and did not pay close attention to it. Polycarbonate has not been known to many scientists and industrialists for about a hundred years.
In the middle of the last century, German scientist B. Schnell and American chemist D. Fox synthesized this amazing product almost at the same time. As a result, they patented an invention named macrolone and lexane. After a short period of time, the production of thermal plastic began. Polycarbonate for construction purposes was first produced by Polygal, an Israeli company, and then by the world-famous General Electric company from the USA. The enterprises of these companies are still the leaders of the global market for the production of building materials.
Polycarbonate began to be produced in Russia at the beginning of the 21st century, and at the same time the material gained extraordinary popularity in various industries, construction and design.
Types of polycarbonate
In the modern market of building and finishing materials, there are two types of such a useful material:
Cellular or cellular polycarbonate.
A cast or monolithic product.
They are made using similar technology and differ in appearance. Cellular polycarbonate consists of two or more sheets of thermoplastic, which are interconnected by partitions and resembles a honeycomb of bees. Molded polycarbonate looks similar to ordinary silicate glass.

Features of cellular polycarbonate
This type of coating consists of several layers, usually two, which are connected by means of partitions, forming peculiar channels. They contain air, which significantly increases the thermal insulation of polycarbonate products and creates stiffeners. All this makes the material very light, plastic and at the same time quite durable.
Advantages of cellular polycarbonate:
High light transmission capacity up to 90%;
durability and reliability due to its unique design;
low weight of the sheets;
resistance to mechanical stress;
It can be used at temperatures from 40 degrees below zero to +120 degrees Celsius;
good thermal insulation properties;
safety – when destroyed, fragments do not form as in glass;
No complicated special tools are required for cutting and processing.;
wide range of material colors;
relatively low cost.
The above properties of polycarbonate provide a wide range of applications. Installation is simple, convenient and accessible to anyone who has even minimal household repair and construction skills.
