PoliComp®

policarb_base02

 
The solid polycarbonate sheets offer a combination of unsurpassed features: resilience, transparency, lightness. As clear as glass weigh half as much and are 250 times more impact resistant. They have also better thermal and acoustic insulation properties. For this reason they have a high versatility and can be worked either hot or cold, thus becoming eligible for all interventions in the Construction sector and Industry. The polycarbonate product range is divided into solid Policomp® sheets, with UV protection on both sides. And Scudo® sheets, no UV protected ideal for industrial applications.

 

 

Advantages of solid sheets

  • Trasparency
  • Light transmission
  • Extreme impact strength
  • Good fire reating

Applications

 

 

❖ Vertical windows
❖ Roofing
❖ Curved roofing
❖ False ceiling

Application of flat sheets

 

Solid polycarbonate sheets can be installed in most PVC, wood, steel and aluminium structures and frames. The frame  must hold the sheet in place while allowing it to expand. dilatazione_ENGThe choice of sheet thickness depends on the load value required. According to the size of the sheet, from table A, the effective area and also the thickness will be calculated.
Table B can be used to calculate the thickness of the sheet to be used according to the size of the sheet (AREA) and the  required  load value.

The values shown in table B (positive and negative loads) have been calculated for sheets fixed on four sides, with a  maximum bend value (rise) of 50mm.

Application of cold-curved sheets

 

Policomp® is ideal for building integral arch or tunnel structures. The minimum bend radius is 150 times the thickness of the sheet. The choice of sheet thickness depends on the bend radius but also on the width of the sheet.
