What properties does PC, the material of plastic lighting lampshades, have that make it suitable as a lampshade material?

PC material has excellent transparency, and its light transmittance can reach about 90%, which is almost equivalent to glass. This property makes PC an ideal material for the production of optical devices and transparent parts. In the field of lighting, high light transmittance means that the light emitted by the lamp can fully penetrate the lampshade, ensuring uniform light distribution and providing good lighting effects. In addition, the transparency of PC also makes the plastic lighting lampshade beautiful and enhances the overall design of the lamp.
PC material is known for its excellent impact resistance, and its tensile strength and bending strength are very high. This high strength and high toughness enable PC lampshades to withstand a certain degree of external impact without being easily damaged. During transportation, installation and use, even if it encounters accidental collisions or falls, the PC lampshade can remain intact, thereby extending the service life of the lampshade.
PC material has excellent heat resistance, and its heat deformation temperature is about 135℃. This means that PC can maintain stable physical and mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. For lighting fixtures, high-heat light sources such as LEDs require lampshade materials that can withstand high temperatures without deformation or cracking. PC material just meets this demand, allowing lamps to maintain good lighting effects and stability under high temperature conditions.
PC material has strong resistance to environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays and climate change. In outdoor environments, PC lampshades are not easy to discolor or become brittle when exposed to sunlight for a long time. This weather resistance makes PC lampshades have broad application prospects in the field of outdoor lighting, such as street lights and landscape lights. PC material is a self-extinguishing material with good flame retardant properties. When a fire occurs, the PC lampshade can effectively prevent the spread of the fire and reduce the harm of the fire to people and property. This feature makes PC lampshades particularly important in the field of public safety.
PC material has good plasticity and can be processed into various complex shapes through various processes such as injection molding, extrusion and blow molding. This allows designers to freely use their creativity to design lampshade shapes and functions that meet different lighting needs. At the same time, easy processing and molding also reduces production costs and improves production efficiency.
PC material is an odorless, non-toxic thermoplastic engineering plastic that meets environmental protection requirements. During the manufacturing and use of lamps, PC lampshades will not cause harm to the human body and the environment. This feature makes PC lampshades have broad application prospects in the fields of green lighting and sustainable development.
