Polycarbonate (PC) sheets possess excellent flexibility and are among the few rigid plastics that can be cold-bent without heating.

Flexibility: This material combines high strength with high elasticity. Thin sheets (e.g., 1-3mm) can be easily rolled into cylinders or bent into arcs; even thicker sheets can be cold-bent to a certain radius based on their thickness without easily breaking or developing streaks like acrylic.

Physical Limits: Cold bending radius: Typically, the minimum cold bending radius is 175 times the sheet thickness. Excessive bending can cause permanent whitening or internal stress fatigue on the surface.

Structural Impact: Hollow sheets (sunlight panels) are easier to bend than solid polycarbonate sheets and are often used in the curved designs of greenhouses or building roofs.

During installation, hollow sheets should be bent along the direction of the ribs to prevent structural collapse.
