The 6mm transparent polycarbonate solid sheet is a versatile, durable, and lightweight material known for its high impact resistance and optical clarity. It is commonly used in various applications, such as glazing, skylights, protective covers, and architectural features.

Here are some of its key characteristics:
Key Features:
- Thickness: 6mm, which provides a balance between strength and light transmission, suitable for both structural and aesthetic purposes.
- Transparency: Offers excellent optical clarity, with light transmission rates typically around 88-90%, allowing for bright, natural light while offering UV protection.
- Impact Resistance: Polycarbonate is highly impact-resistant, up to 200 times stronger than glass, making it ideal for applications that require high durability and safety.
- UV Protection: Often comes with a UV-protective coating on one side, which helps prevent yellowing, degradation, and harmful UV rays from penetrating.
- Lightweight: Despite its strength, it is much lighter than glass, making it easier to handle and install.
- Thermal Insulation: While not as effective as multi-wall or twin-wall sheets, solid polycarbonate sheets still offer a degree of thermal insulation compared to glass, helping to regulate temperature.
- Fire Resistance: Polycarbonate is inherently flame-retardant, making it a safer option for various installations.
Applications:
- Roofing and Glazing: Perfect for skylights, greenhouse roofs, and other transparent roofing solutions due to its light transmission and weather resistance.
- Signage and Displays: Used for transparent signage, exhibits, and point-of-purchase displays, thanks to its clarity and ease of fabrication.
- Safety and Protective Barriers: Ideal for use in safety barriers, machine guards, and protective covers in industrial settings.
- Architectural Features: Used for creating modern, energy-efficient facades, partitions, and windows.


Benefits:
- Durability: Resistant to breakage and can withstand harsh weather conditions like hail or high winds.
- Versatility: Can be easily cut, drilled, or thermoformed into various shapes and sizes.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Provides a clean, modern look while allowing natural light to permeate the space.
