Description

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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

LiteGuide Series

VULCAN LiteGuide filters incoming sunlight and interior lighting into soft and dispersed light, which eliminates burn on plants, vegetation, animals and human beings. The light softening properties comes from VULCAN’s proprietary LiteGuide resin added to the Covestro base, and with the help of Clariant CESA Light UV and Light Stabilizers co-extruded on the surface, maximizes the lifespan of your VULCAN LiteGuide polycarbonate sheet.

Product Strengths

Base Material
VULCAN polycarbonate sheets use only 100% Virgin Covestro UV stabilizer included master-batch.

LiteGuide Material
Designed to break up and distribute light evenly, LiteGuide will reduce hot spots and diffuse light.

LiteGuide Technology
LiteGuide softens and disperses light evenly, which suits plants and flowers, which burns when encountering direct sunlight and is best avoided. LiteGuide sheets are also suitable for Signs and Billboards, which provides good aesthetics.

LiteGuide Transmission Rate
Excellent Light transmission – 88% VIS transmission rate with complete light dispersion.

High Impact Resistance
250 times the impact strength over glass and 10 times over FRP and Acrylic.

Base Material
VULCAN polycarbonate sheets use only 100% Virgin Covestro UV stabilizer included master-batch.

UV Resistant Coating
Co-extruded with the Base Material, the Clariant CESA Light UV and Light Stabilizers blocks harmful UV rays from 280~400nm. With co-extruded UV protection, VULCAN Polycarbonate sheets last 10 years or more.

Clean Room Manufacturing
VULCAN Sheets are produced in ISO Class 7 (FED STD 209E equivalent Class 10,000) clean rooms to ensure impeccable quality.

Production Method
Co-Extrusion ensures evenly spread, evenly thick base material and UV coating.
