Plate with special stability
A polycarbonate channel sheet is also called a tunnel sheet, lexan sheet or a multi-walled sheet. A 4mm polycarbonate sheet is a flat transparent light sheet consisting of at least two layers of plastic. Between those 2 layers of plastic called tunnels or channels are intermediate partitions. These partitions connect the plastic sheets both at the top and at the bottom. This gives the sheets a special stability. The sheets are not only available with a thickness of 4 mm, but also in the 6, 8 or 10 variant.
Difference between polycarbonate and plexiglass
The material of the channel sheet springs along, so it can absorb a lot of weight. Whereas glass shatters and plexiglass cracks, a polycarbonate sheet is virtually unbreakable. Moreover, plexiglass is flammable, whereas polycarbonate is fire-retardant. This is why the price of plexiglass per square metre is much lower than that of polycarbonate. Did you know, for example, that this type of plastic is 250 times stronger than glass in the same thickness, and also a lot lighter? In addition, polycarbonate is resistant to UV light. However, this material has even more properties.
A polycarbonate channel sheet has the following properties:
- Impact-resistant
- Burglary resistant
- Minimum thickness tolerance
- Fire retardant
Double-walled polycarbonate sheets
The double-walled polycarbonate sheets 4mm are supplied with a protective film on both sides. On one side the foil indicates which side has the UV protection, the other side offers no UV protection. The 4mm plate is always 2-walled and is not available in other single-walled variants.
Clear or opal
You have a choice of two colours, clear and opal. If you want to use the 44 mm thick polycarbonate sheet for normal glazing applications, we recommend choosing the colour opal. This is because this variant is crystal clear, whereas a polycarbonate sheet has a white milky appearance, but allows light to pass through. The colour opal is mainly used for privacy glazing, but is also widely used as a light cube, light box and illuminated advertising sheet.
Applications
Polycarbonate channel plates are used for a variety of applications, including various security applications. For instance, they often function as partition walls. After all, it is virtually unbreakable. In addition, the thicker sheets are often used in the construction industry. For example, in garden shelters, as a substitute for glass, as balcony glazing and for conservatories.
They have a light transmission, an attractive light distribution and are easy to install. For these reasons, thicker sheets are often used in the construction industry as roofing sheets. The 4 mm sheets are not suitable for roofing.
Processing options
A polycarbonate channel plate has endless processing possibilities. You can have the sheet milled, hot and cold bent, but also sawed, drilled, polished, facetted, milled and printed. However, you can also saw the sheets to size yourself using a fine saw. Please feel free to contact us for the processing options we offer. We would be happy to tell you more about the possibilities.
Profiles and other accessories
The 4mm polycarbonate can be finished with special profiles. Using profiles makes it possible to neatly finish the sides of the channel sheets, regardless of the type of construction you make using channel sheets. There are various types of profiles, including U-profiles, universal cover profiles, intermediate profiles, wall connection profiles, condensation profiles and H-profiles. Besides profiles, you will find other accessories for hollow core slabs in our product range. These include underlay rubbers, anti-dust tape, sealing plates and stainless steel pointed screws.
