What Are The Advantages and Disadvantages of Water Bottles Made of PC Materials

At present, the materials used to produce plastic water cups on the market include PC, AS, PS, PP, PPSU, SK, PCTG, etc. These plastic materials have different performances and advantages and disadvantages.

1. What is PC Material?

PC material is polycarbonate, which is more used in the market as a production material for plastic sports water cups. The plastic material used to produce water cups must be food grade, so customers can rest assured when buying water cups made of PC. However, this material has advantages and disadvantages. If you avoid the disadvantages when using it, it will be safer when using it.

2. Advantages of PC Materials

PC materials have strong high temperature resistance, so when you use water cups made of PC materials, if you pour boiling water into them, the cups will not deform. However, there are also individual cases. Some friends do use PC water cups, but they deform after pouring boiling water. This is mainly because the water cup factory has problems with the design and production of the thickness of the water cup. If the wall of the cup is too thin, the high temperature resistance will decrease.

The visual effect of the water cup produced by PC is very good. This is because the material itself has a high degree of transparency. The appearance of the manufactured water cup is translucent, giving people a clean and clear feeling, and it looks more beautiful and generous.
The water cup produced by PC material has good impact resistance, and it is not easy to break when it collides and falls during daily use. At the same time, the wear resistance is relatively good. PC material as a plastic material can be recycled and reused, and the crushed material can be reused as an industrial plastic material through regulators and other substances.

3. Determination of PC Material

Although the water cup produced by PC material has good high temperature resistance, it has relatively poor low temperature resistance, and its temperature difference resistance is relatively limited. When the temperature difference is too large, the material itself will crack. However, it is still better than the temperature difference resistance of AS material.

The water cup produced by this material has good permeability, but it is most likely to leave obvious scratches when encountering sharp objects, especially when some friends put it in the bag during daily use. If there are keys and other sharp objects in the bag, everyone will find that there are many obvious scratches on the surface of the water cup.
Moreover, it is easily corroded by chemical substances. For example, when we clean water cups on a daily basis, if they are in contact with cleaning products for a long time, they will be easily corroded by the chemical substances in the cleaning agent. The obvious manifestation is that the surface of the water cup is no longer so transparent and has obvious atomization. At this time, the water cup needs to be replaced in time to ensure health and safety during use.

So please feel free to buy plastic water cups made of PC materials. When using them, you can avoid the shortcomings of the material itself and use them with more peace of mind.
