Polycarbonate, a high-performance thermoplastic resin, has emerged as a qualitative materials in the hospitality industry' s access control sector. Unlike traditional PVC materials, PC boasts a unique molecular structure that delivers unmatched durability and functionality — critical for hotel keycards that endure daily handling, frequent swiping, and occasional drops.

With a temperature resistance range of -60°C to 130°C, PC keycards remain intact in extreme environments, from hot tropical lobbies to cold storage areas adjacent to guest rooms. Their exceptional impact strength (unbreakable in non-notched tests) eliminates the common frustration of bent or snapped cards. This significantly reduces the need of room card replacement,  reducing replacement costs by up to 60% compared to PVC alternatives. For hotels, this translates to lower operational expenses and fewer guest complaints. During their stay, customers can hold a room card that is intact, smooth and has a good feel, which greatly enhances their stay experience.

Security is another hallmark of PC keycards. The material' s dense composition enables high-definition laser marking, creating tamper-proof identifiers that resist fading or alteration. When integrated with RFID technology, PC cards safeguard encrypted data better than PVC, as their rigid structure prevents signal interference and unauthorized chip access — a vital feature for protecting guest privacy and room security. Besides, as a material more solid than tranditional PVC, PC card can protect the guests' message from the physic damage. Even if it is forcibly damaged, the owner of the card can still recognize it at a glance.
