Polycarbonate sheeting in a greenhouse. The second largest consumer of polycarbonates is the construction industry, e.g. for domelights, flat or curved glazing, roofing sheets and sound walls. Polycarbonates are used to create materials used in buildings that must be durable but light.
Although single layer polycarbonate sheeting is more flexible than polycarbonate in twinwall configuration, it still retains significant advantages over alternative materials, including glass. A typical 6mm sheet has a density of 0.72 g/cm^2 [6] and a thermal insulation R value of 0.3 m^2°C/W, while allowing 80% of visible light pass through. [7]
Double tees are the most common products for short spans up to 60 feet (18 m) Hollow-core slabs are used when there is a need for flushed ceiling. T-beams are similar to double tees but can be used for span ranging from 30 feet (9.1 m) to 100 feet (30 m). Joists and planks are combination of using prestressed joists with prestressed planks.
Film strip (photographic film) 6 mil polyethylene plastic sheet as vapor barrier in construction Confectionery packaging made of PLA-blend bio-flex bioplastic Shrink-wrapped OH-58 Kiowa helicopters to be shipped. Plastic film is a thin continuous polymeric material. Thicker plastic material is often called a "sheet".
Kaynemaile is a chainmail fabric consisting of polycarbonate interlinked rings connected together by liquid-state assembly to form a flexible mesh sheet. It is made from polycarbonate and used in the architecture and design industry. [1] [2] It was invented by Kayne Horsham in 2004. [3]

Self-adhesive plastic sheet, known in the United Kingdom as sticky-backed plastic, is wide plastic sheet or film with an adhesive layer on one side, used as a surface coating for decorative purposes. It is typically smooth and shiny, but can also come in textured varieties, in which case it can sometimes be used as a cheap alternative to veneer .
The Journal of Plastic Film and Sheeting is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers the field of materials science, especially the development and processing of plastic film and sheeting. The editors-in-chief are John R. Wagner Jr. and James P. Harrington.
