Frequently Asked Questions
Mount Lite sheets are manufactured from polycarbonate, a thermoplastic polymer known for high impact resistance and optical clarity.
Polycarbonate sheets are generally suitable for continuous service between approximately -40°C and +110°C, with higher temperatures tolerated under short-term exposure.
Mount Lite offers solid sheets, textured/embossed sheets, thick solid sheets, corrugated sheets, and multiwall (cellular) sheets for different applications.
Solid sheets provide glass-like clarity and high impact resistance, while multiwall sheets incorporate internal chambers to improve thermal insulation and reduce weight.
Yes, sheets intended for outdoor use are supplied with co-extruded UV-protective layers to reduce long-term degradation from sunlight exposure.
Clear solid polycarbonate sheets typically allow approximately 80–90% light transmission, depending on thickness.
Yes, polycarbonate sheets can be cold bent within specified minimum bending radius limits, which vary based on sheet thickness.
Yes, polycarbonate offers significantly higher impact resistance compared to glass and acrylic, making it suitable for safety glazing and industrial applications.
Thickness selection depends on span length, load conditions (wind or snow), structural support spacing, and application type.
Yes, corrugated and profiled polycarbonate sheets are designed to integrate with compatible metal roofing profiles for daylighting applications.
