Extruded polycarbonate flat sheet. The sheet is characterized by high optical clarity, light transmission, impact resistance and durability. The sheets are available as gloss or embossed. A range of standard widths and thickness are available in clear and colors.
- Characteristics
The main characteristics of Polycarbonate UV – Flat Sheet are:
- High impact – virtually unbreakable
- Half the weight of a comparable pane of glass
- Light transmission of up to 90
- Can be cold formed on site
- Class 1 surface spread of flame
- Excellent weather resistance

Fire Performance
The fire performance has been independently tested. The current test reports can be obtained from the technical department.
Print Preparation
Lukewarm water and ordinary non-abrasive household detergent and a sponge or soft cloth is normally sufficient, however for degreasing and cleaning prior to secondary operations
the following solvents are suitable: ethanol, isopropanol and white kerosene.Static
Rinsing the surface with water or antistatic cleaning agent can reduce static charge. Another method is to blow down the sheet with ionized air. The effect of this treatment is
short term but usually sufficient for subsequent operations.- Technical Data

Storage & Handling
- Service Temperature
The sheet can be installed in a diversity of applications, with varying temperatures. The material’s mechanical performance is known to remain stable in prolonged service in temperatures ranging from –20 to +100 °C (Short term unstressed -40 to +120°C).
- Installation
Applications must make adequate allowance for thermal movement, nominally 3.5 mm per meter. Adequate clearance must be allowed in the holes drilled for fixing and sheet lengths have to be limited so that there is not excessive movement at the ends. 3mm sheets can be cold curved down to a minimum radius of 450mm. For good design practice it is advised that a 3mm flat sheet not be curved below 525mm. It is essential that compatible gaskets or silicon be used in installation.
