No plastic is 100% UV-resistant, but some have good UV stability in their natural state, while others require additives or coatings that impart UV resistance. There are two main types of UV additives: light stabilizers and UV absorbers, but carbon black , a fine black powder produced by the incomplete combustion of residues, is also used.
Catalog. DURAPLEX is a continuously processed acrylic sheet that is up to 10 times stronger than general-purpose acrylic, 30 times stronger than double-strength window glass and 50 times stronger than polished wire glass or other glasses. That strength equates to superior tolerance to shipping and handling. STRENGTH. SIGN FABRICATION.
These cast acrylic sheets are clear and resemble glass in clarity, brilliance, and transparency, but are half the weight. They are easier to machine than extruded acrylic and are scratch- and UV-resistant. They are commonly fabricated into tanks, see-through barrier panels, and light fixture lenses. Tensile Strength Rating: Good-Excellent
Inherently UV resistant: Acrylic will not deteriorate due to UV exposure, making it a good option for outdoor applications. Color and polish options: Many different grades are available, including opaque and translucent colors, providing a wide array of design options. Acrylic can also undergo mechanical and flame polishing, unlike polycarbonate. . 202 313 65 183 237 243 100 104 303
