Exolon® Multi UV 5X/16-25

1 of 21 products in this brand
Exolon® multi UV 5X/16-25 is a 5-wall polycarbonate sheet of 16 mm thickness, with an X-structure for enhanced stiffness. It combines high light transmission, good load bearing properties, good thermal insulation and excellent weather resistance. The sheet is lightweight, impact resistant and easy to install. The sheets are produced with a coextruded UV-protective layer, which is homogeneously fused with the sheet material.This UV-protected side must be installed facing upwards/outwards. It provides Exolon® multi UV with a highly effective protection against weathering, guaranteed for 10 years.

Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Details

When using Exolon®multi UV 5X/16-25 iin roof or wall installations, the forces exerted by snow and wind loads must be absorbed by a suitable substructure. We recommend implementing the support distance indicated in the diagram for the respective loads.

The diagram shows the load-bearing capacity of Exolon®multi UV 5X/16-25 (supported on all sides, rebate depth ≥ 20 mm) with a standard profile on the longitudinal sides. The load-bearing curves enable the user to calculate the actual load-bearing characteristics of the multi-wall sheets in their support construction. If the rebate depth is smaller, the support distances should be reduced in accordance with the relevant load. For wind forces alone, the loads are permitted to be multiplied by 1.1

Load bearing characteristics (determination)*: The component resistance (limit state of load-bearing capacity) of Exolon®multi UV 5X/16-25 has been defined in accordance with the European guideline ETAG 010 regarding practical tests. The characteristic values identified were calculated on the longitudinal sides by considering the chucking effect (standard profiles). The results were partially applied to other widths using simplified, conservative models. The loads were applied as uniformly distributed linear loads, i.e. loads such as snow acting perpendicular to the sheet.

The values are reference values calculated by an independent and notified institute through tests on actual systems. Adequate safety margins must be observed in addition to these values. The margins are to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

In general, experience has proven that a safety factor of 1.3 is adequate with regard to the measured resistance values. This safety factor is included in the load tables and diagram.

These statements do not replace the specified national certificates, e.g. building inspectorate approval (Bauaufsichtliche Zulassung Germany), Avis Techniques (France), etc.
