PC is also known as “polycarbonate” (Polycarbonate), PC trolley case, as the name implies, is a trolley case made of PC material.
The main feature of PC material is its lightness, and the surface is relatively flexible and rigid. Although it does not feel strong to the touch, it is actually very flexible. It is not a problem for ordinary adults to stand on it, and it is more convenient to clean.
PC luggage Features
The ABS trolley case is heavy. After being impacted, the surface of the case will crease or even burst. Although it is cheap, it is not recommended!
ABS+PC: It is a mixture of ABS and PC, not as compressive as PC, not as light as PC, and its appearance must not be as beautiful as PC!
PC is selected as the main material of the aircraft cabin cover! PC pulls the box lightly and is convenient for travel; after receiving an impact, the dent can rebound and return to the prototype, even if the box is checked, it is not afraid of the box being crushed.
1. The PC trolley case is light in weight
The trolley case of the same size, the PC trolley case is much lighter than the ABS trolley case, ABS+PC trolley case!
2. PC trolley case has high strength and elasticity
The impact resistance of PC is 40% higher than that of ABS. After the ABS trolley box is impacted, the surface of the box will appear creases or even burst directly, while the PC box will gradually rebound and return to the prototype after receiving the impact. Because of this, PC material has also been selected as the main material for the aircraft cabin cover. Its lightness solves the problem of weight bearing and its toughness improves the impact resistance of the aircraft.
3. PC trolley case adapts to temperature
The temperature that PC can withstand: -40 degrees to 130 degrees; it has high heat resistance, and the embrittlement temperature can reach -100 degrees.
4. PC trolley case is highly transparent
PC has a transparency of 90% and can be dyed freely, which is why the PC trolley case is fashionable and beautiful.
PC luggage shortcoming
The cost of PC is very high.
The difference
Comparison of PC trolley case and ABS trolley case
1. The density of 100% PC material is more than 15% higher than that of ABS, so it does not need to be thick to achieve a solid effect, and it can reduce the weight of the box. This is the so-called lightweight! ABS boxes are relatively heavy and heavy. Thick, ABS+PC is also in the middle;
2. PC can withstand temperature: -40 degrees to 130 degrees, ABS can withstand temperature: -25 degrees to 60 degrees;
3. The compressive strength of PC is 40% higher than that of ABS
4. PC tensile strength is 40% higher than ABS
5. The bending strength of PC is 40% higher than that of ABS
6. The pure PC box will only produce dent marks when encountering strong impact, and it is not easy to break. The pressure resistance of ABS is not as good as that of PC, and it is prone to breakage and whitening.
Use and maintenance
1. The vertical suitcase should be placed upright, without pressing anything on it.
2. The shipping sticker on the suitcase should be removed as soon as possible.
3. When not in use, cover the suitcase with a plastic bag to avoid dust. If the accumulated dust penetrates into the surface fibers, it will be difficult to clean up in the future.
4. It depends on the material to determine the cleaning method: If the ABS and PP boxes are soiled, they can be wiped with a damp cloth dipped in a neutral detergent, and the dirt can be removed soon.
