Clear Polycarbonate Sheets

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 Sheets

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 Sheets are premium transparent glazing materials designed to provide exceptional impact
resistance, excellent optical clarity and long-term outdoor durability. Manufactured from high-performance solid
polycarbonate, these sheets feature UV protection on both sides, helping protect the material from prolonged exposure to
sunlight while maintaining clarity and appearance.

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 provides significantly greater impact resistance than conventional glass while remaining
lightweight, easy to handle and highly versatile. The dual-sided UV protection makes installation more convenient
because either face of the sheet can be exposed to sunlight, making the material particularly suitable for outdoor
glazing, machine guards, canopies, safety screens, shelters and architectural applications.

Whether used for industrial protection, architectural glazing, transport applications or general fabrication, Clear
Polycarbonate UV2 Sheets provide an excellent combination of strength, transparency, weather resistance and long-term
performance.

Key Features & Common Applications

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 Sheets provide excellent transparency and high-impact protection while offering the additional
benefit of UV protection on both surfaces for versatile indoor and outdoor installation.

Dual-Sided UV Protection

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 Sheets are designed with UV protection on both sides of the sheet. This provides additional
installation flexibility compared with products where only one surface is UV protected.

The dual-sided UV protection helps:

• Protect the sheet from prolonged sunlight exposure
• Reduce the effects of UV-related weathering
• Maintain optical clarity and appearance
• Simplify installation where sheet orientation may vary
• Support applications where both surfaces may receive sunlight
• Improve suitability for exposed outdoor glazing applications

This makes Clear Polycarbonate UV2 particularly suitable for architectural, commercial and industrial projects where
long-term outdoor performance is required.

Product Benefits

Ideal for Safety & Protective Glazing

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 is an excellent choice where conventional glass may be vulnerable to accidental impact,
vandalism or repeated mechanical stress.

Typical protective glazing applications include:

• Machine guarding
• Industrial safety barriers
• Factory partitions
• Protective screens
• Equipment viewing windows
• Sports facility glazing
• Schools and public buildings
• Transport shelters
• Security and access panels
• High-traffic public areas

Its combination of transparency, strength and relatively low weight makes it a practical alternative to glass where
improved impact performance is required.

Sheet Sizes & Thicknesses

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 Sheets are available in a range of standard sheet sizes and thicknesses to suit architectural,
industrial, commercial and fabrication applications.

The appropriate thickness will depend on factors such as:

• Finished panel dimensions
• Supporting frame design
• Wind load requirements
• Expected impact loads
• Indoor or outdoor installation
• Required panel stiffness
• Fabrication and forming requirements

Custom sheet sizes and project-specific requirements may be available depending on stock and manufacturer availability.

Fabrication & Installation

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 can be fabricated using standard polycarbonate machining and fabrication techniques. The sheet
can be professionally cut and prepared for installation according to project requirements.

Common fabrication methods include:

• Saw cutting
• CNC routing
• Drilling
• Hole cutting
• Edge finishing
• Cold bending
• Custom cut-outs
• Fabrication-ready sizing

When installing polycarbonate sheets, sufficient allowance should be provided for thermal expansion and contraction.
Compatible sealants, gaskets, tapes and fixing systems should also be used to avoid damaging the material.

Fasteners should not be overtightened, and fixing holes should provide suitable clearance where required to allow
natural material movement.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Clear Polycarbonate UV2 should be cleaned using mild soap, clean water and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.

For best results:

• Remove loose dust and dirt with clean water before wiping
• Use mild soap or a polycarbonate-compatible cleaner
• Use a clean microfibre cloth or soft sponge
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water
• Avoid abrasive pads, scrapers and harsh cleaning products
• Avoid unapproved solvents or chemicals that may damage the polycarbonate surface

Correct cleaning and maintenance will help preserve optical clarity and extend the service life of the sheet.
