什麼是聚碳酸酯?
聚碳酸酯是一種熱塑性聚酯,可以承受高溫而不分解或熔化。它高度透明,視野清晰、無障礙。它重量輕、耐用、易於安裝、用途廣泛且具有成本效益,並具有高折射率或天然抗紫外線 (UV) 性能。它具有耐熱性,可以與阻燃材料結合,而不會導致材料明顯分解。它可以模製成各種形狀和尺寸,並且可以著色或塗層以提供附加功能。它用於眼鏡、醫療設備、汽車零件、防護裝備、溫室、光碟 (CD)、數位多功能光碟 (DVD)、藍光和外部照明燈具的塑膠鏡片。
COVID-19大流行的疫情對聚碳酸酯產業造成了重大影響,並帶來了前所未有的挑戰。由於許多建設項目被擱置,這導致對聚碳酸酯產品的需求減少。此外,疫情也導致全球聚碳酸酯生產原料供應鏈中斷。許多國家對關鍵材料實施出口限制,這使得製造商難以購買必要的投資。這反過來又導致成品短缺和客戶價格上漲。除了供應鏈中斷之外,疫情也導致了消費者行為的改變。向遠距工作和線上學習的轉變減少了對某些聚碳酸酯產品(例如辦公室隔間和學校家具)的需求,同時增加了對筆記型電腦螢幕和網路攝影機等其他產品的需求。儘管聚碳酸酯產業面臨挑戰,但也存在一些機會。這次疫情凸顯了對耐用且易於清潔材料的需求,從而導致醫療和保健領域對聚碳酸酯產品的需求增加。
由於其高抗衝擊性能,聚碳酸酯在安全眼鏡、面罩、防暴盾牌和防彈玻璃中的使用越來越多,這是推動全球市場成長的主要因素之一。此外,為了防止電腦、手機、平板電腦、充電器、傳真機、尋呼機、連接器和電池盒等電子產品的破碎和刮傷,聚碳酸酯的使用量也在增加。再加上電子產品銷售的成長,正在對市場產生正面影響。此外,聚碳酸酯在汽車工業中用於製造車輛零件,包括照明、頭燈透鏡、內裝、儀表板、保險桿和車身面板。再加上豪華車銷售的增加以及對乘客和駕駛安全設備的需求不斷成長,有利於市場的成長。除此之外,建築業擴大使用聚碳酸酯來製造牆板,以提供自然光並保護隱私,這為市場創造了積極的前景。

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.
