Core Advantages of Polycarbonate Tubes in the Lighting Industry

Polycarbonate is widely used in the lighting industry today. It possesses unique flame-retardant, pressure-resistant, and UV-resistant properties, making it one of the preferred materials for modern lighting diffusers.

First, let's look at the excellent impact resistance of polycarbonate tubes. Its impact strength is 250 times that of ordinary glass and 30 times that of acrylic. Therefore, it is very durable, easy to transport, and significantly reduces the defect rate during lamp production.

Second, polycarbonate tubes have excellent light transmittance. Although its light transmittance is only 88%-90%, slightly lower than acrylic, it is already close to that of glass, thus ensuring the overall luminous efficacy of the lamp.

Third, polycarbonate is very lightweight. Its density is only half that of glass, making it very user-friendly in the design, production, transportation, and use of lamps.

Fourth, polycarbonate tubes have good heat resistance. Its heat distortion temperature can reach 125℃-135℃, so it can withstand the heat generated by LED light sources (usually below 80℃) for a long time without easily deforming or aging the lamp.

Fifth, polycarbonate tubes offer high plasticity and design freedom. Polycarbonate raw materials can be easily extruded into pipes of various diameters, wall thicknesses, lengths, and colors, and can even be bent into curved shapes to meet diverse aesthetic design needs.

Sixth, it possesses inherent flame retardancy. Polycarbonate raw materials can provide different flame retardant properties, such as UL-4, V2, V1, V0, and even the special requirement of EN45545.
