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.
Membrane roofing consists of large sheets, generally fused in some way at the joints to form a continuous surface. Cured Thermoset membrane (e.g. EPDM rubber, Neoprene). Synthetic rubber Cured Thermosets are synthetic rubbers that have undergone the vulcanization or "Curing" process. Seams of materials are bonded by adhesives or chemicals ...
Plastic is the generic name for a family of synthetic materials derived from petrochemicals. It is often product of two or more components. It is often product of two or more components. There are many families of plastics and polymers being used in construction industry, such as acrylics , composites , expanded polystyrene , polycarbonates ...
A polycarbonate is an oxocarbon dianion consisting of a chain of carbonate units, where successive carbonyl groups are directly linked to each other by shared additional oxygen atoms. That is, they are the conjugate bases of polycarbonic acids , the conceptual anhydrides of carbonic acid , or polymers of carbon dioxide .
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]

A building site for a row of riverside apartment blocks in Cambridge. The buildings are being constructed using a systems build with a steel frame and various prefabricated components. The blue plastic on the central building is the vapour barrier for the thermal wall insulation before the exterior cladding has been fixed.
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.
