Palsun® polycarbonate benefits from an integral, co-extruded layer of UV protection on both sides of the sheet and can therefore be used for external as well as internal applications. Coupled with a wide service temperature range Palsun® is suitable for use in any environment. With a light transmission of 90%, the same as glass but at half the weight and 200 times the impact resistance, Palsun® is also ideal for use in areas exposed to potential damage or vandalism.

Palsun® FR benefits from the same co-extruded layers of UV protection as Palsun® but also possesses a higher fire resistance rating, to UL94 V-0, which makes it ideal for use in areas where building regulations require it, such as public buildings and areas with high footfall.

Paltuf® is a general purpose, flat polycarbonate sheet best suited to indoor applications as the product is UV stabilised but without the co extruded layer of UV protection.

Palgard has all the benefits of Palsun® polycarbonate but with an abrasion resistant coating applied post production. Palgard™ has an increased resistance to a wider variety of chemicals and is more durable for use in high traffic areas or to resist vandalism.

Palsun Bronze has all the benefits of Palsun Clear polycarbonate sheet but with a bronze tint and consequently, a lower light transmission. The bronze colour remains transparent and therefore, still transmits light and images.

Palsun® Opal comes in a wide range of white tones, most commonly, for light box applications. The range of light transmission through the opal sheet, up to 86%, receives maximum haze and subsequently offers the maximum light diffraction. This in turn, creates the desired lighting effect for any application. The safe fire behaviour of Palsun® Opal makes it ideal for use in areas where building regulations require it, such as public buildings and areas with high footfall.

Palsun Diffused has all the benefits of Palsun Clear polycarbonate sheet but with an opal diffused tint which makes it suitable for lighting and in particular, lightbox applications. Designed to diffuse a light source while offering a vibrant image and reducing reflections, Palsun Diffused also meets stringent fire-rating requirements.

Palsun® Solar Control possesses the lowest shading co-efficient of the polycarbonate range, providing the coolest temperature at a given level of light transmission. Other products absorb more energy over the entire spectrum and this energy is then partially converted into heat and radiated inwards. With a Solar Control product this is avoided as the glazing panel reflects a much larger percentage of solar energy. For this reason, Solar Control would typically be specified for roof glazing applications.

Polycarbonate Textured sheets have a patterned finish on one side of the sheet. The surface on Palsun® Embossed is applied primarily to offer light transmission whilst obscuring vision for privacy glazing applications. Prismatic polycarbonate is used for lenses in lighting applications. The prismatic surface is one of the most established products for the control of glare and diffusion in fluorescent light fittings. Fire retardant, polycarbonate light diffusers are TP(a) approved.

With the advantage of being half the weight of plate glass mirror, polycarbonate mirror also benefits from being completely shatter resistant.

Also available as AR with a fine, matt texture on one side only. This surface finish is primarily to help avoid glare by reducing reflections.
