falcon polycarbonate
A flat polycarbonate sheet which is non UV protected. It offers a glazing solution particularly when safety or impact resistance is of vital importance.
- Impact strength up to 200 times greater than glass
- Ideal for internal applications
- Can help reduce energy costs through its better thermal properties over glass
- Half the weight of plate glass, making handling and installation more convenient
- Excellent fire resistance
- Cut to size service is available
- Special makings subject to minimum quantities
Technical Capabilities
Light transmission: 90% (3mm clear)
Fire rating: BS476 Part 7 Class 1Y (3mm)
Impact Strength: 30kJ/m2 DIN53453
Cutting: Easy to saw and cut on standard workshop equipment. It can be machined on conventional milling machines with standard high-speed tools
Drilling: Any commercially available metal drill without a specially ground bit is suitable. Do not use cutting oils. The sheet may break as a result of notching
Thermoforming: Before thermoforming remove masking films and Hot Bending pre-dry at 120°C to remove absorbed moisture. Dry storage can reduce pre-drying time in oven by up to one third. Pre-drying is not normally required when hot line bending
Cold Curving: Can easily be cold curved. At low radii high stresses are built up in the material, which will lower chemical resistance. The minimum allowable radius for cold curved applications is sheet thickness x 175
Bonding: The material can be bonded using one of the following adhesives: Epoxy, Polyurethane, Hot Melt or Silicone. Solvent based adhesives can lead to stress cracking and are therefore not recommended
Applications
- bus shelters
- glazing
- machine guards
- signs - permanent
- visors
