Tuflite® Solid UV Co-extruded Polycarbonate Sheets

Adding a new dimension to impact resistant glazing 

Tuflite® Solid UV Co-extruded Sheets can be transparent or translucent, posses excellent weather resistance due to a UV-protective barrier coating. The product range offers superb impact strength, is light in weight, can be cold curved and is fire retardant. The unique properties of Tuflite® Solid sheets make them the ideal product for a variety of demanding applications. They have consistently out performed Glass, GRP and other plastics in skylight roofing & daylight glazing
applications.

Tuflite® Solid UV Co-extruded Polycarbonate Sheets

 

Advantages  ·   

  • 250 times more impact resistant than glass and hail resistant.  Impact resistance ensures that there is no risk of breakage during handling, installation and transportation.
     

  • Fire Retardant – Self Extinguishing material that does not aid flame spread.

  • Easy to install and fabricate. Cutting to size can be done with commercially available tools.  Further processing by cold line bending, cold-curving or thermoforming possible
     

  • Extremely weather–resistant.  The permanent UV-protective layer durably protects the sheets from weather degradation due to the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
     

  • Lighter in weight due lower specific gravity (Roughly half the weight of glass).  Further economy can be achieved by reduction in weight of supporting structures.

    

Tuflite® Solid UV Co-extruded Polycarbonate sheets are used for various types of glazing applications in private buildings, public infrastructure projects, industrial structures e.g.:

 

  • Skylight Domes & Atria

  • Industrial Skylights & North Light Glazing

  • Signage fascia

  • Light diffusers

  • Vision panels in High Vibration areas

  • Sound Barriers

  • Porches & Entrance Canopies

  • Safety Glazing

  • Riot Shields for Police & Security Forces

  • Sports Dug-outs

  • Aircraft Ladder Weather Hoods

  • Machine Viewing Panels

  • Electrical Switch-gear shrouds

UV Protection

The sheets are produced with a co-extruded UV-protective layer, which is homogenously fused with the sheet material. This UV-protected side should always be installed facing towards the sun. This provides the sheets with an effective UV protection against weathering and carries a warranty for 10 years.
