Palsun® Polycarbonate Sheet
Palsun® Polycarbonate presents a powerful combination of clarity and impact resistance. Palsun® Polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, yet it is transparent as glass at less than half its weight. Palsun® Polycarbonate can be cold bent, fabricated and formed, making it ideal for applications such as barrel vault roofing, skylights, architectural roofing and glazing. Clear, translucent or opaque, Palsun® Polycarbonate sheets are also ideal as machine guards, sound barriers, anti-vandal and safety glazing.
Key Features:
High impact resistance
High clarity and light transmission
Weather and UV resistant
Wide service temperature range
Blocks harmful UV radiation
Good acoustical insulation
Lightweight
Easy to handle and install
Versatile, formable, and machinable
Typical Applications:
Safety and Security Glazing: safety glazing, protective shields for machines, glazing in schools and public buildings, construction of protective enclosures for bus stops and telephone booth, transparent protective shields for police and security forces, glazing in boats, trains, busses and planes, windshields for cars, eye protection visors for helmets.
Construction: transparent acoustic barriers, architectural roofing, skylights, hall and shopping center ceilings, covered walkways, sun rooms, conservatories and hobby greenhouses, pergolas and covered patios, attic windows.
Other Applications: signboards and illuminated signage, light fixtures (white opal, diffused, or embossed sheets), thermoformed, vacuum formed, bent, and fabricated items.
