Polycarbonate

Redco™ Polycarbonate is easily worked, molded, and thermoformed; as such, polycarbonate is very widely used in modern manufacturing.
Features such as temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties make Redco™ Polycarbonate the perfect choice for industrial and commercial applications.
Redco™ Polycarbonate is virtually indestructible and much stronger than glass or acrylic. Multi-wall polycarbonate is inexpensive and has an insulation value similar to insulated glass. Polycarbonate diffuses the light and is very easy to install.

Excellent UV Resistance
Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet is exceptionally resistant to weathering. Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet is manufactured with an integral layer protecting the sheet from the damaging effects of sunlight. It will remain clear and non-yellowing for many years with minimal deterioration. Light transmittance for clear Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet–the most important criterion for growers–remains at 90% even through accelerated Q.U.V. tests.
Reduced Ultraviolet Transmission
Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet is grower friendly. While it transmits a high portion of visible light, it is essentially opaque to ultraviolet light at wave lengths below 385 nanometers. Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet blocks out the harmful UV light.
High Light Transmission
Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet transmits visible light as well as glass, providing an optimal growing environment. Up to 90% of visible light (as measured by ASTM standards )is transmitted through clear Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet to your crop.
High Impact Strength
With 20 times the impact resistance of fiberglass and over 40 times the impact resistance of glass, Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet resists hail, wind and vandalism. At a thickness of .033″, Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet can withstand over 240 inch-pounds of impact. This equates to a 34″ hailstone falling at 96 miles per hour! Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet maintains this superior impact resistance at temperatures ranging from -40°F to 250°F.
Thermally Insulating
Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet can help save energy because of its thermal insulating capability. Compared to fiberglass, which has a U value of 1.56, Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet insulates with a U value of 1.2.
