- Features
- Impact strength: The impact strength of solid PC sheets is 200 times that of glass
- Light weight: The weight of a solid PC sheet is only about half of glass
- Transparency: The light transmission of PC sheet is 80-90 %( clear), for different thicknesses
- UV-protection: Our PC sheets are manufactured using UV stabilized PC resin that keeps the PC sheet from discoloring. Our state of the art machines can co-extrude up to 50 microns of UV coating on both sides of our Polycarbonate sheets to further enhance its UV resistant properties
- Resistance to weather: A PC sheet has resistance to bad weather and maintains excellent properties in a wide temperature range (from -40 to 120°C)
- Thermal insulation: The K-value of glass is 1.2 times that of a solid PC sheet. So PC Sheets have much lesser heat conductivity than glass and are very useful for insulation.
- Easy installation: A PC sheet can be bent while hot or cold and can be used on curved roofs, domes and windows. The minimum radius of curvature of a PC sheet is 175 times of its thickness
