What are the advantages and disadvantages of PC made sports water bottles?

Hello everyone, "Dong Dong Talk Cup" is here. Today, the editor will talk to you about plastic water bottles. Since the widespread sale of plastic water bottles made of TRITAN material in the market, it seems that people no longer pay attention to plastic water bottles made of other materials. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmlNowadays, with the global economic downturn and the downgrading of national consumption, is it only safe to use water bottles produced by TRITAN? How about plastic water bottles made of PC material? Is the plastic water cup produced by PC unsafe?

PC material, also known as polycarbonate, is a high molecular weight polymer widely used in many industrial fields, including electronics, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmlautomotive, construction, medical, and consumer goods. Polycarbonate is favored due to its unique physical and chemical properties, with the following specific advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages: High transparency, PC material has high transparency, comparable to glass in transparency, but lighter and safer than glass.

Excellent impact resistance, PC material is one of the strongest impact resistant plastics among many. Even under low temperature conditions, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmlits impact strength is still significant, so it is commonly used to manufacture products with high safety requirements such as bulletproof glass.

Heat resistance, PC material can withstand temperatures up to about 130-140 ° C, making it suitable for manufacturing various heat-resistant products.

Chemical stability, PC materials have good resistance to various chemical substances such as oil, fat, acid, alkali, etc.

Easy to process, PC can be easily processed into various shapes, making it easy to machine, shape, and dye.

Disadvantages: Low scratch resistance. Although PC materials have strong impact resistance, their surface hardness is relatively low and they are prone to scratches. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmlLong term use may affect transparency and appearance.

The UV resistance is weak, and untreated PC materials are sensitive to UV radiation. Prolonged exposure may cause the material to age and turn yellow.

Temperature sensitivity: Although PC materials have good heat resistance, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmlthey are prone to deformation at high temperatures or in contact with a fire source.

The issue of permeability is that the water vapor permeability of PC materials is higher compared to some other plastics, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmland long-term exposure to humid environments may affect their performance.

The cost issue is that compared to some other common plastic materials, the production cost of PC materials is higher, which directly affects the market price of the final product.

So what are the advantages and disadvantages of using food grade PC for producing sports water bottles?

Advantages: Strong high temperature resistance, PC material has good high temperature resistance, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmlcan withstand the temperature of high temperature water, is not easy to deform or release harmful substances.

Impact resistant, PC material has high impact resistance and is not easily broken, making it suitable for use in sports situations.

High transparency, the water cup made of PC material has high transparency, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmlmaking it convenient for users to observe the water volume and quality.

Disadvantages: Easy to scratch, PC material is relatively soft and easily scratched by hard objects, affecting the appearance and aesthetics.

Not resistant to wear and tear, wear and tear may occur after prolonged use, reducing the appearance quality.

The price is higher, compared to some other plastic materials, the cost of PC material is higher, and the relative selling price is higher, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10451.htmlbut compared to Tritan material, the water cup produced by Tritan material has a lower selling price.
