Introduction

Polycarbonate sheets & FRP are extensively used in Industrial Applications. These are used for Industrial Sky Lights and North-Light Glazing to provide daylight solutions in Industrial and Commercial Structures. These polycarbonate & FRP roof sheets are available in a variety of profiles matching to commonly used industrial roofing sheets that include asbestos cement sheets & metal corrugated sheets, corrugated roof sheets and plastic corrugated roof sheets.

What are Polycarbonate Sheets?

Polycarbonate is a polymer with a unique blend of desirable properties. This polymer can be given shape by different processes, which include injection moulding, blow moulding, extrusion -and thermoforming. Polycarbonate roof sheets are manufactured by the process of extrusion. Polycarbonate roof sheets are commonly called transparent steel due to their wonderful impact resistance and glass like clarity.

Following are a few properties of corrugated roof sheets:

• Polycarbonate sheets possess superb impact strength (Virtually Unbreakable).
• Excellent flexural strength hence can be cold curved or even cold bent into simple shapes.
• Very high light transmission of upto 90%.
• Superlative fire performance ( Self extinguishing) and TAC approved.

• Light in weight hence easy to handle & install.
• Available in tailored lengths, hence minimum wastages.
• High temperature tolerance (from -40°C to +130°C).
• Excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties.

Being an engineering thermoplastic, polycarbonate sheets can be thermoformed to make them suitable for a host of different applications where high performance is sought in combination with transparency/ translucency. These plastic corrugated roof sheets can also be engineered to suit various innovative applications in the future.

Types of sheets

• Lexan thermo clear multi-wall sheets
• Lexan compact clear
• Lexan embossed sheet
• Lexan corrugated sheet
• Lexan solar control IR sheet

Lexan Thermo clear Multi-wall sheets

Lexan thermo clear is an impact resistant, energy-saving multi-wall polycarbonate sheet. It is the ideal roof glazing material for new as well as replacement glazing for a wide range of applications.

Lexan Compact clear and embossed sheets

Lexan solid sheets combine unbelievable strength, excellent clarity and high designing flexibility along with other properties inherent to lexan making it a favourite for numerous glazing, roofing and protection applications over the past decade.

Lexan Corrugated sheet

Lexan LCS transparent profiled glazing sheets are the ideal choice for durable, attractive glazing in a wide range of applications and available in required profiles for industrial strip lighting.

Lexan Solar Control IR Sheet

GE advanced materials' new family of transparent solar control glazing products is available in both solid and multi-wall polycarbonate sheets. They significantly reduce solor transmission while simultaneously offering high levels of light transmission, helping save energy costs for cooling and lighting buildings. Both products are excellent candidates for buildings where it is desirable to admit high levels of light while keeping excess heat to a minimum.
