Commentary
The interfacial polymerization method using bisphenol A and phosgene as raw materials has been the mainstream method, but in recent years, ester exchange method (dissolution method), which does not use phosgene, has also been used for production.
Key points
- Transparent and high impact resistance even with thin walls.
- Used in many industrial products due to its excellent heat resistance and flame retardant properties.
Gallon bottle
Reason for adoption
Not breakable when dropped, withstands water pressure (impact resistance, rigidity), visible inside (transparency)
Headlamp Covers
Reason for adoption
Unbreakable even when hit by pebbles, high transparency, lightweight (impact resistance, transparency, weather resistance, low specific gravity (compared to glass))
Carport Roof
Reason for adoption
Good at transparency. weather resistance, lighter than glass ( lower specific gravity)
