Makrolon® SL SunLife
Prolonged exposure to the sun can weather even the
most durable of surfaces. In the past, acrylic was often
chosen for plastic glazing applications because of its
inherent resistance to yellowing over time. But compared
to polycarbonate, the relative brittleness of acrylic made
its impact strength insufficient for demanding, vandal
resistant applications. To meet this need, Sheffield
Plastics developed MAKROLON SL polycarbonate sheet.
It offers the best of both worlds–the impact protection of
MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet and the UV resistance
of acrylic. Utilizing advanced formulations combined with
state-of-the-art extrusion technology, Sheffield Plastics
has created a tough, consistent quality product that will
exhibit superior performance for years to come.
The performance of MAKROLON SL polycarbonate
sheet has been well documented through years of
laboratory and field testing. In side-by-side
comparative testing under severe conditions,
MAKROLON SL polycarbonate sheet consistently
outperformed competitive materials utilizing older
technology. Materials were also tested in forms and
bends well beyond recommended guidelines, proving
that the integrity of SL, as well as its UV resistance,
will not change if the sheet is bent or cold-formed.
So conclusive was this testing that Sheffield offers a
limited warranty against excessive yellowing, loss of
light transmission, and breakage.
