Transparent
Material advantages
Excellent transparency, outstanding aging resistance; good optics, insulation, processability and weather resistance; colorless and transparent, light transmittance of 90%-92%, strong toughness, more than 10 times larger than silicon glass.
Material shortcomings
The texture is brittle and easy to crack, the surface hardness is low, and it is easy to be scratched and lose its luster, but the subtle scars and scratches can be removed with polishing paste.
