Why Solid Polycarbonate?
• HIGH IMPACT STRENGTH - Our polycarbonate sheet is virtually unbreakable and able to withstand extreme abuse. Its impact strength is 250 times greater than glass and 30 times greater than acrylic. Thus, it is not easily damaged during transportation or installation.
• GOOD LIGHT TRANSMISSION - Providing long lasting clarity over a wide range of weather conditions and environments. Up to 60% light transmission, UGS grey polycarbonate is ideally suited to a wide variety of residential and commercial applications which requires good light transmission. Due to the grey tint, this sheet is better where more heat reduction is desired.
• EASY INSTALLATION - Polycarbonate is flexible and easy to cut with a fine tooth skill saw. Will not chip or crack when being cut or drilled.
• LIGHT WEIGHT - At less than half the weight of glass, it can be installed quickly and reduces handling equipment and installation cost.
• LONGEVITY AND UV PROTECTION - Superior longevity and resistance to the effects of weather is achieved by co-extruding a 50-micron UV protective layer onto both sides of each sheet. This gives over 99% UV protection.
• FLAME RETARDANT - Self extinguishing, does not encourage flames or give off toxic gases.
• THERMAL STABILITY - Minimal property change within -20 to 120 degrees Celsius
• ACOUSTIC AND THERMAL INSULATION - Superior sound and thermal insulation, ideal for creating sound barriers.
