Features of Qlite Polycarbonate sheets
Fire Retardant (Self Extinguishing)
Qlite Sheets have an excellent flammability rating (UL94 V-2), are self extinguishing and suitable for using in areas prone to fire. These sheets do not release toxic gases and are comparatively much less flammable than GRP sheets.
Excellent Impact Resistance
Qlite sheets possess exceptional impact resistance. Manufactured from high quality virgin resin, polycarbonate has 250 times the impact strength of glass and up to 40 times that of Acrylic (PMMA) sheets of similar thicknesses. Qlite® sheets are virtually unbreakable.
Superior Clarity & Light Transmission
Qlite Clear Solid sheets are as transparent as glass and have a light transmission of 90 %. These sheets are also available in translucent configuration for better light diffusion.
Weather protected
Qlite sheets possess a special Ultraviolet barrier, which cuts off 99.9% of harmful ultraviolet radiation. This protection ensures zero damage to UV sensitive products like, furnishings and upholstery, paint, carpets and also prevent harm to the human skin. Further, this UV layer is co-extruded and hence cannot peel or delaminate from the sheet, ensuring long term durability and sustained weather protection.
Design Flexibility
Qlite sheets can be cold curved in both directions. That is parallel or perpendicular to the line of extrusion. This offers design flexibility to install these sheets over curved roofs or walls (Radius of curvature will be defined by the thickness of sheet to be used).
Broad Range Temperature Resistance
Qlite sheets remain stable under extreme climatic conditions, remaining virtually unchanged between temperatures of -20 °C and +120 °C. This signifies that the sheets can perform below freezing point and above boiling point of water. Adequate allowance needs to be made for thermal movement in the fixing arrangement.
Ease to handle
QliteSheets , Due to their relatively lightweight and high impact strength, polycarbonate sheets are convenient to store, handle and install. Conventional tools can be used to cut, trim or drill holes in the sheets.
Chemical Resistance
UV Coated Qlite polycarbonate sheets are resistant to a wide range of chemicals. They are generally unaffected by acids, alcohols, glycols, mineral oils, animal and vegetable fats, kerosene and non-abrasive cleaners. However, they are affected by benzene, petrol, ketones, acetones, phenols, chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum based paints, abrasive cleaners and solvents. For more information contact your distributor for a data sheet.
Solid Sheets Warranty
Qlite Polycarbonate sheets are backed by a 10 years warranty against loss of light transmission and a 10 years warranty against hail breakage. Provided that all warranty conditions are satisfied, these warranties will be honored anywhere in the world where our Polycarbonate sheets are sold.
