Polycarbonate Roofs
Polycarbonates are thermoplastic polymers. Thermoplastic means a polymer that turns to a liquid when heated and freezes to a glassy state when cooled. Due to these attributes it makes thermoplastics easy to manipulate, work, mould and thermoformed. Polycarbonates do not have a unique plastic identification code and are identified as “Other”.
Polycarbonates are durable and have high impact resistance though are prone to scratches leading to many polycarbonates having coatings applied to prevent this depending on their use. Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature of about 150 °C.
Polycarbonate roofs can have several advantages over glass such as its high impact resistance, its weight is generally half as much as glass. It also provides good acoustical insulation, weather and UV resistant. Other properties of polycarbonate roofs include its wide service temperature range.
