Redco Polycarbonate is easily worked, molded, and thermoformed; as such, polycarbonate is very widely used in modern manufacturing. Features such as temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties make Redco Polycarbonate the perfect choice for industrial and commercial applications. Redco Polycarbonate is virtually indestructible and much stronger than glass or acrylic. Multi-wall polycarbonate is inexpensive and has an insulation value similar to insulated glass. Polycarbonate diffuses the light and is very easy to install.A P P L I C A T I O N S :Carports, Roof Glazing, Skylights, Drink Dispensers, Sound Barriers, Light Fixtures, Machine Guards, Roof Coverings, Police Riot Sheilds, Visors, Signs, Displays, Greenhouses, Swimming Pool Enclosures, Covers for Public Areas, Entrance Awnings, Patio Roofs, Balcony Enclosures, Windowsetc. Excellent UV Resistance Redco Polycarbonate sheet is exceptionally resistant to weathering. Redco Polycarbonate sheet is manufactured with an integral layer protecting the sheet from the damaging effects of sunlight. It will remain clear and non-yellowing for many years with minimal deterioration. Light transmittance for clear Redco Polycarbonate sheetthe most important criterion for growersremains at 90% even through accelerated Q.U.V. tests. Reduced Ultraviolet Transmission Redco Polycarbonate sheet is grower friendly. While it transmits a high portion of visible light, it is essentially opaque to ultraviolet light at wave lengths below 385 nanometers. Redco Polycarbonate sheet blocks out the harmful UV light. High Light Transmission Redco Polycarbonate sheet transmits visible light as well as glass, providing an optimal growing environment. Up to 90% of visible light (as measured by ASTM standards )is transmitted through clear Redco Polycarbonate sheet to your crop. High Impact Strength With 20 times the impact resistance of fiberglass and over 40 times the impact resistance of glass, Redco Polycarbonate sheet resists hail, wind and vandalism. At a thickness of .033, Redco Polycarbonate sheet can withstand over 240 inch-pounds of impact. This equates to a 34 hailstone falling at 96 miles per hour! Redco Polycarbonate sheet maintains this superior impact resistance at temperatures ranging from -40F to 250F. Thermally Insulating Redco Polycarbonate sheet can help save energy because of its thermal insulating capability. Compared to fiberglass, which has a U value of 1.56, Redco Polycarbonate sheet insulates with a U value of 1.2.
