What are the advantages and disadvantages of water cups made of PC materials?

Hello everyone, "Dong Dong Talks About Cups" is here. Yesterday, the editor shared with you the advantages and disadvantages of water cups made of HDPE materials. As a result, the editor seemed to open up his mind all of a sudden, and the long-term worry about not having content to write suddenly disappeared. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10424.htmlIn the next few days, the editor will write and share about various materials for producing water cups. Haha, friends who don’t like these contents are welcome to visit the "Dong Dong Talks About Cups" account on major video platforms, and take a good look at the various water cup videos shared by the editor during this period. Haha.


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 properties, advantages and disadvantages. PC stands for polycarbonate, and is more commonly used in the production of plastic sports water cups and space cups. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10424.htmlThe plastic material used to produce water cups must be food grade, so friends can rest assured when buying water cups produced by PC. However, this material also has advantages and disadvantages. After understanding the advantages and disadvantages of water cups produced by PC materials, everyone can avoid the disadvantages when using them, which will make them safer when using them.


Let me start with the advantages. PC materials have strong high temperature resistance, so when you use a water cup made of PC material, the cup will not deform when you pour boiling water into it. However, there are some cases where some friends do use PC water cups, but they deform after pouring boiling water into them. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10424.htmlThis is mainly because the water cup factory has problems with the design and production of the wall thickness of the water cup. If the wall thickness is too thin, the high temperature resistance will decrease.


The water cups made of PC have a good visual effect. This is because the material itself has a high degree of transparency. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10424.htmlThe water cups made of PC have a translucent appearance, giving people a clean and clear feeling, and appear more beautiful and generous.


The water cups made of PC material have good impact resistance and are not easy to break when they are hit or dropped during daily use. At the same time, the wear resistance is also relatively good. PC material can be recycled as a plastic material, and the crushed material can be reused as an industrial plastic material through the use of regulators and other substances.


After talking about the advantages of PC materials, let's share the disadvantages of the materials with you. I will compare the above advantages one by one, which will make it easier for you to understand and remember.


Although water cups made of PC materials have good high temperature resistance, their low temperature resistance is relatively poor, and their resistance to temperature difference is also relatively limited. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10424.htmlWhen the temperature difference is too large, the material itself will crack. However, compared with AS materials, their resistance to temperature difference is still better.


Water cups made of PC materials have good permeability, but they are easily scratched by sharp objects. Especially when some friends put them in bags during daily use, and the keys and other sharp objects inside the bag come into contact with them, you will find many obvious scratches on the surface of the water cup.


PC materials themselves are susceptible to corrosion by chemical substances. For example, when we clean water cups in daily life, if they are in contact with detergent products for a long time, they will be easily corroded by the chemical substances in the detergents. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10424.htmlThe obvious manifestation is that the surface of the water cup is no longer so transparent and has obvious fogging. At this time, the water cup should be replaced in time to ensure healthy and safe use.


PC materials will not release harmful substances when used in daily drinking water at room temperature, low temperature or not higher than 70℃. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10424.htmlOnce the beverage is used at a temperature exceeding 70℃, PC materials will release bisphenol A, which is harmful to the human body.


Therefore, you can rest assured to buy plastic water cups made of PC materials, and then avoid the shortcomings of the material itself when using them, so that you can use them with more peace of mind.
