Flammability |
| The resins used to make polycarbonate are specially developed for excellent flame retardant properties. |
| |
Insulation |
| The twin-wall profile gives effective heat-loss reductions when used instead of regular glass. Saving of up to 50% have been documented. Insulation values increase with thicker profiles. |
|
Storage of Panels |
| The polycarbonate sheets should be stacked on a solid flat surface. Store out of direct sun to avoid accumulated heat effects. Cover for protection.
Do not use flexible vinyl sheet as a cover as the plasticizers may react with the
polycarbonate. |
|
Protective Film |
| All polycarbonate panels are supplied with a protective PE film on both sides, which should be kept on, until the panel is fastened. The U.V protected side is to be faced towards the sun and is marked with printed film. |
| |
Cleaning of Installed Panels |
| Polycarbonate should be
protected from abrasion by the installer. After
installation, panels should be washed with mild soap
or detergent and lukewarm water using only a clean
sponge or soft cloth, and rinsed with clean water. Never use abrasive cleaners, solvents or sharp tools
on the sheets. Wipe dry with a soft cloth to avoid
water spots. Fresh paint, grease and smeared
glazing compounds may be removed before drying by
rubbing lightly with a good grade of naphtha or
isopropyl alcohol followed by a final wash with mild
soap or detergent and final rinse.
Contact the manufacturer for specified cleaner
brands. |
