什么是聚碳酸酯?
聚碳酸酯是一种热塑性聚酯,可以承受高温而不降解或熔化。它高度透明,视野清晰、无障碍。它重量轻、耐用、易于安装、用途广泛且具有成本效益,并具有高折射率或天然抗紫外线 (UV) 性能。它具有耐热性,可以与阻燃材料结合,而不会导致材料明显降解。它可以模製成各种形状和尺寸,并且可以着色或涂层以提供附加功能。它用于眼镜、医疗设备、汽车零件、防护装备、温室、光碟 (CD)、数位多功能光碟 (DVD)、蓝光和外部照明灯具的塑胶镜片。
COVID-19大流行的疫情对聚碳酸酯产业造成了重大影响,并带来了前所未有的挑战。由于许多建设项目被搁置,这导致对聚碳酸酯产品的需求减少。此外,疫情也导致全球聚碳酸酯生产原料供应链中断。许多国家对关键材料实施出口限制,这使得製造商难以购买必要的投资。这反过来又导致成品短缺和客户价格上涨。除了供应链中断之外,疫情也导致了消费者行为的改变。向远距工作和线上学习的转变减少了对某些聚碳酸酯产品(例如办公室隔间和学校家具)的需求,同时增加了对笔记型电脑萤幕和网路摄影机等其他产品的需求。儘管聚碳酸酯产业面临挑战,但也存在一些机会。这次疫情凸显了对耐用且易于清洁材料的需求,从而导致医疗和保健领域对聚碳酸酯产品的需求增加。
由于其高抗衝击性能,聚碳酸酯在安全眼镜、面罩、防暴盾牌和防弹玻璃中的使用越来越多,这是推动全球市场成长的主要因素之一。此外,为了防止电脑、手机、平板电脑、充电器、传真机、寻呼机、连接器和电池盒等电子产品的破碎和刮伤,聚碳酸酯的使用量也在增加。再加上电子产品销售的成长,正在对市场产生正面影响。此外,聚碳酸酯在汽车工业中用于製造车辆零件,包括照明、头灯透镜、内装、仪表板、保险桿和车身面板。再加上豪华车销售的增加以及对乘客和驾驶安全设备的需求不断增长,有利于市场的成长。除此之外,建筑业越来越多地使用聚碳酸酯来製造墙板,以提供自然光并保护隐私,这为市场创造了积极的前景。

What is Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polyester that can withstand high temperatures without degrading or melting. It is highly transparent, which allows clear and unobstructed views. It is lightweight, durable, easy to install, versatile, and cost effective, and offers a high refractive index or natural ultraviolet (UV) resistance. It provides heat resistance and can be combined with flame retardant materials without significant material degradation. It can be molded into various shapes and sizes and can be colored or coated to provide additional functionality. It is used in plastic lenses of eyewear, medical devices, automotive components, protective gear, greenhouses, compact discs (CDs), digital versatile discs (DVDs), Blu-ray, and exterior lighting fixtures.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a significant impact on the polycarbonate industry and imposed unprecedented challenges. This led to a decrease in demand for polycarbonate products as many construction projects were put on hold. Moreover, the pandemic caused a disruption in the global supply chain of raw materials used in the production of polycarbonate. Many countries implemented export restrictions on critical materials, which made it difficult for manufacturers to procure the necessary inputs. This, in turn, resulted in a shortage of finished products and higher prices for customers. In addition to the supply chain disruptions, the pandemic led to changes in consumer behavior. The shift towards remote work and online learning reduced the need for some polycarbonate products, such as office partitions and school furniture, while increasing the demand for others, such as laptop screens and webcams. Despite the challenges faced by the polycarbonate industry, there were some opportunities as well. The pandemic highlighted the need for durable and easy-to-clean materials, which led to an increased demand for polycarbonate products in the medical and healthcare sectors.
The increasing use of polycarbonate in safety glasses, face shields, riot shields, and bullet resistant glass on account of its high impact resistance properties represents one of the major factors bolstering the market growth around the world. Moreover, there is a rise in the usage of polycarbonate to protect against the shattering and scratching of electronic products like computers, mobile phones, tablets, electrical chargers, fax machines, pagers, connectors, and battery boxes. This, coupled with the growing sales of electronics, is influencing the market positively. In addition, polycarbonate is employed in the automotive industry for the manufacturing of the components of the vehicle, including lighting, headlamp lenses, interior cladding, dashboards, bumpers, and body panels. This, along with the increasing sales of luxury vehicles and the rising need for passenger and driver safety equipment, is favoring the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing utilization of polycarbonate in the construction industry for manufacturing wall panels to provide natural light and maintain privacy is creating a positive outlook for the market.
