 Remarkable Impact Strength
Makrolon® CS UV sheets exhibit remarkable impact resistance. Manufactured from high quality Makrolon® polycarbonate resin which has 250 times the impact strength of glass and up to 40 times that of Acrylic (PMMA) sheet at the same thickness, Makrolon® CS UV sheets are virtually unbreakable.
Glass-like Clarity
Clear Makrolon® CS UV sheets exhibit glass-like clarity with excellent light transmission.
 UV Protection
Makrolon® CS UV sheets prevent the transmission of more than 99.9% of harmful ultraviolet radiation, providing excellent protection against the sun for your skin, furnishings and plants.
Excellent Resistance to UV Degradation
Makrolon® CS UV sheets are protected from UV degradation and discoloration by a co-extruded layer of Makrolon® polycarbonate resin. Because this UV layer is co-extruded, it can’t peel or separate from the sheet, providing long-term durability and protection.
Extreme Weather Resistance
Makrolon® CS UV sheets remain stable under
extreme climatic conditions remaining virtually unchanged between temperatures of -20°C and +120°C. They will
not become brittle at low temperatures, provided adequate allowance has been made for expansion and will not distort
at high temperatures.
Thermal Insulation
Makrolon® CS UV sheets are better insulators against heat or cold in comparison to glass or GRP sheets.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Makrolon® CS UV sheets simply do not corrode.
Chemical Resistance
Makrolon® CS UV Sheets are resistant to a wide range of chemicals. They are generally unaffected by acids, alcohols, glycols, mineral oils, animal and vegetable fats, kerosene, and non-abrasive cleaners. However, they are affected by benzene, petrol, ketones, acetones, phenols, chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum based paints, abrasive cleaners and solvents. For more information, contact your distributor for a data sheet. |
Flexibility
Makrolon® CS UV sheets can be curved either parallel or perpendicular to their corrugations providing the flexibility to construct curved roofs or walls (maximum radius will depend on profile).
 Flammability
Makrolon® CS UV sheets have an
excellent flammability rating (UL94 V-2), are
self-extinguishing, fire resistant and suitable for use in fire prone areas. They will not emit toxic gasses and are less flammable than GRP or Acrylic
(PMMA) sheets.
Easy Handling and Installation
Due to their light weight, Makrolon® CS UV sheets are easy to handle and install. Cutting and drilling can be performed easily without the need for special tools.
Easy Maintenance
Simply clean with warm soapy water (mild detergent) and a soft sponge. Hose down thoroughly.
