LiteGuide Solid FLAT Series
LiteGuide – Though belongs to the clear polycarbonate sheet category, has additives that softens and disperses light evenly, while still retaining a very high visible light transmission rate.
Best suited for greenhouse applications and commercial skylights, as we know humans and other living organisms would all like to avoid sunburn. Also suitable for Signs and Billboards.
VULCAN Solid FLAT LiteGuide Polycarbonate sheet
VULCAN LiteGuide SOLID Flat sheets can be seen as an enhanced version of Valuview Clear sheets. Visible light transmission rate remains the same, but the added light diffusers disperse light evenly, creating an atmosphere with soft lighting
VULCAN LiteGuide Solid Flat sheets retain all of the great qualities of polycarbonate – 250 times over glass, 10 times over FRP and Acrylic sheets in impact strength. Light weight, ease of installation, fireproof and weathering resistant properties make it the perfect choice for civil construction and safety glazing.
For example, sheets 6mm and above are capable of stopping low powered rounds, and often laminated to create bulletproof glass to stop higher powered rounds or complex security threats; PC sheets can also be molded into riot shields for law enforcement.
They can also be cold bent to shape and fixed to curved structures or façades, or hot formed to dome polycarbonate skylight covering for commercial and industrial applications.
