What is Multiwall Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate (PC) is a thermoplastic polymer that can
be extruded into multiwall cellular sheets. These multiwall
sheets are extremely strong and lightweight.
Polycarbonate o󰀨ers high light transmittance, making it
an ideal alternative to conventional glass products.
Multiwall polycarbonate is easy to use, long lasting, and exible
in a variety of applications. The following technical overview
provides basic information on the performance, handling, and
installation of multiwall polycarbonate.
Polycarbonate combines a high level of mechanical, optical, and thermal properties in its
structured sheet form:
• High Light Transmission
• UV Protection
• Virtually Unbreakable
• Light in Weight
• Thermal Insulation
• Hail and Fire Resistance
• Easily Fabricated On-Site
• Long-Term Weatherability
Multiwall polycarbonate is manufactured by an extrusion process. Plastic resin is melted and then
extruded (pushed through) a die into a wide range of sheet widths, thicknesses, and structural strengths.
Multiwall polycarbonate is an ideal alternative to traditional glass for a wide range of applications,
including greenhouses, pool enclosures, skylights, canopies, sunrooms, gazebos, pavilions, deck and
patio covers, carports, walkways, wall partitions, and vertical glazing.
