Uv Resistant Plastic Roofing

Even if unpainted pvc is commonly used to provide shielding for underground wires that require additional protection from the elements.

Uv resistant plastic roofing.

In addition these polycarbonate sheets are 250 times more impact resistant than glass and 30 times more impact resistant than acrylic creating an excellent guard against hail and eliminating the risk of breakage during installation and transport. Polycarbonate panels are resistant to extreme temperature either hot or cold sunlight snow rain and impact. Pvc is not inherently uv resistant but is often covered in uv resistant paint to prevent degradation. Suntuf is a corrugated polycarbonate panel that provides high mechanical strength uv protection weather durability with a 10 years warranty.

These sheets can be cold formed over arches compromising the uv co extruded exterior surface. Another plastic to consider is polyethylene especially ultra high molecular weight polyethylene uhmw. Used for industrial roofing cladding skylight rooflights and sidelight applications worldwide it maintains its features and appearance for years and is easy to assemble. Makrolon ar abrasion resistant polycarbonate sheet offers higher uv resistance and abrasion resistant surface hardness to polycarbonate s inherent performance benefits of impact strength and clarity.

Backed by a limited seven year warranty against breakage and loss of light transmission makrolon ar abrasion resistant polycarbonate sheet features a proprietary hardcoat technology that offers protection against chemical and uv attack. In addition we have special resins infused to keep uv resistant greenhouse plastic sheeting flexible in cold weather yet stable and tough under hot conditions. Our clear greenhouse plastic sheeting also has the additional benefit of staying cleaner and attracting less dust while washing off dirt more easily.
