Warranty

Ten Year Limited Written Warranty
Lexan Thermoclear sheet with Dripgard will not break due to loss of impact strength through weathering and will not display excessive
yellowing and loss of light transmission as defined herein, within ten (10) years of data of sale by SABIC Innovative Plastics.
1) This limited written warranty applies solely to standard
sheets produced by SABIC Innovative Plastics in Long
Sault, Canada, with a minimum gauge of 4.5 to a
maximum of 16mm in the colors standard clear (112),
white (825074), SC IR (GN8B038T) and standard bronze
(5109). used correctly as sloped, vertical or cold curved
glazing, handled, stored, processed, installed and
maintained according to SABIC Innovative Plastics
recommendations contained in the Technical Manual. In all
cases, the surface bearing the proprietary UV protection
must be the only side exposed to direct sunlight and the
effects of weather.
2) This limited written warranty does not apply to sheet that
has been thermoformed, scratched, abraded or exposed
to corrosive materials or chemicals.
3) This limited written warranty is given only to the original
purchaser of SABIC Innovative Plastics and does not
extend to any subsequent purchaser or transferee. Any
warranty claim hereunder must be made immediately
within the warranty period by specifying the claim in
writing and submitting to SABIC Innovative Plastics the
original sales receipt which must contain the name and
address of the purchaser, the date of purchase, the
complete product name, the lot number and the volume
purchased. On request of SABIC Innovative Plastics
claimant must allow the material to be inspected on site
and/or return the sheet to SABIC Innovative Plastics for
testing.
4) For the purpose of this limited written warranty:
• Penetration by hail: This product shall be warranted
against hail breakage (defined as surface penetration that
permits water to leak through the sheet) from hailstones
up to 7/8” (22.2mm) traveling at speeds up to 100ft/sec
(30m/sec). Resolution of claims will be determined
through subsequent impact testing on a undamaged
sample of the sheet in question using the ASTM 3029/Ford
Modified Gardner Test. A 7/8” hailstone traveling at
100ft/sec equates to 5 ft-lbs force on the above test. Any
sheet which sustains surface penetration at less than 5 ft-
lbs when tested shall entitle the purchaser thereof to
replacement sheet in accordance with schedule under item
6. The warranty does not cover impact failures or
breakage caused by other means, intentional or
unintentional.
• Yellowing will be determined by subjecting a cleaned sheet
sample to the Yellowness Index Test ASTM D1925
(1977). Any claims for sheets displaying a change in
Yellowness Index of 10 or less for standard clear (112)
compared with their original value, will not be accepted.
This limited written warranty is subject to the following conditions:
• Loss of light transmission will be determined by subjecting a
cleaned sheet sample to the Light Transmission Test ASTM
D1003 (1977). Any claims for sheets displaying a loss of light
transmission of 6% or less, compared to the original value, will
not be accepted.
5) SABIC Innovative Plastics reserves the right to investigate
independently the cause of any failure.
6) If a claim under this limited written warranty is justified,
SABIC Innovative Plastics will provide the purchaser with
replacement material free of charge in accordance with the
following schedule:
