Polycarbonates are engineering plastics, most commonly used for temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties superior to commodity plastics. These properties make polycarbonates a perfect material for interior and exterior light covers as well as the high transparency to visible light for better transmission.
Polycarbonate is a type of plastic material engineered to withstand environmental factors such as extremely high and low temperatures. Polycarbonate light covers can withstand working temperatures of up to 257 degrees Fahrenheit and maintain high impact resistance and durability even at sub-zero temperatures down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit. For light covers that withstand the extreme temperatures that fluorescent bulbs emit throughout the day, polycarbonate is UV stabilized to ensure a long life.
Acrylic lenses are also particularly beneficial materials for replacement light covers. Unsurpassed in its resistance to weather and aging acrylic polymers maintain an exceptional brilliance which won’t diminish even after prolong use. Perfect for modern light fixtures, these covers offer flexibility and a hard surface that wont wether overtime.
