POLYCARBONATE SHEET PHILIPPINES
Do your polycarbonate sheets have UV protection? What does UV protection do to polycarbonate sheets?
Yes. All of our polycarbonate sheets (twin wall, solid, embossed and corrugated, rib-type and corrugated) are UV-blended and have UV top coatings. The outer surface has chemical bond to absorb the sun’s ultraviolet rays to further protect the sheets from the normal wear and tear and provide a more durable shelter from beneath.
No. Although you can use any brand of sealant but the type of sealant that must be used for polycarbonate sheets should be non-acetic or neutral. Otherwise, other sealants might make the polycarbonate sheets brittle that causes cracks and damages.
H-connector and/or aluminum flatbar are used to connect polycarbonate sheets. There must be enough space between the sheets for expansion and keep expansion allowance according to the local temperature variation.
Lifespan of polycarbonate sheets vary from its type. Solid sheet has a guaranteed lifespan of at least 10 years while twin wall sheet lasts for 5-8 years. All told, said life span depends upon how the sheets are installed. If not properly installed, the sheets might deteriorate earlier than its lifespan.
UV protection shields polycarbonate sheets and its color from earlier discoloration but it doesn’t mean that the color will not fade. Due to normal wear and tear, the color will fade in time.
Polycarbonate sheet is an engineered plastic resin belonging to the polyester family of plastics. It is a high quality, transparent thermoplastic synthetic material with exceptional properties, some of which are temperature resistant and flexibility – it can resist both considerably low and high temperatures. Mild warping is normal. Adequate spacing of framing is highly important and recommended. Framing must be fabricated and installed properly.
Polycarbonate sheets are mainly used for skylight roofing thus sheets can transmit up to 80% of natural light reducing the use of electricity-based lighting. Polycarbonate sheets have excellent heat insulation properties and have lower coefficient heat transmission of up to 60%.
Polycarbonate Twin Wall sheets can be bent up to 175 times its thickness in normal atmospheric temperature.
