PC and PMMA
• Toughness and impact strength: PC > PMMA, PMMA is a brittle material
• Temperature resistance: PC > PMMA, TG of PC is 120 °, PMMA is 85 °
• Light transmittance: PMMA > PC, the light transmittance of PC is 86% - 89%, and the light transmittance of PMMA is 88% - 91%
• Hardness: PMMA > PC, the surface hardness of PMMA is generally 3H-5H, there is no hardness index on the surface of ordinary PC, and the hardness of hardened PC is HB
• Weather resistance, aging resistance and corrosion resistance: PMMA > PC, PMMA has very good weather resistance and aging resistance, is commonly used in outdoor products, and has strong corrosion resistance to acid, alkali and salt; PC is not alkali resistant and needs to be coated with UV, and UV resistant additives and antioxidants are usually needed for outdoor products
