PALSUN® Flat Solid POLYCARBONATE SHEET
Widest range of clear flat polycarbonate roof panels, glazing and sign & display solutions
Flat solid polycarbonate sheets are an excellent alternative to glass for a wide range of applications as they are 200 times stronger and weigh less than half. Palram offers PALSUN flat polycarbonate sheets for these applications, and has already installed millions of square meters around the globe in projects that surpass the imagination. PALSUN solutions offer extraordinary impact resistance and durability, and are available in a range of tints from glass-like clarity to shaded—with or without diffusion. In addition, Palram also offers technically advanced SolarSmart™ tints with selective solar control technology. PALSUN polycarbonate sheets are one of many the products that Palram offers for these market segments.

APPLICATIONS
SIGNS & DISPLAYS
Toughen Up your Signs & Displays.
PALTUF is great for interior or short-term outdoor applications such as front-lit or illuminated signs, or thermoformed or fabricated displays. PALSUN products are ideal for UV inkjet printing or applications with outdoor exposure. Clear or Light Box (LB) sheets are most popular for sign applications and LB works well for illuminated light boxes, including LED.
Main Benefits
- Exceptional impact resistance compared to PETG, acrylic and other plastics
- Available with glass-like clarity and in a variety of tints (custom tints are available with a minimum order)
- Available with or without protective masking
- Very good ink-adhesion for printed applications
- Tested & approved by major digital printer OEMs such as HP, AGFA, EFI, Canon, Mutoh, and others
CONSTRUCTION & ARCHITECTURE
Discover Design Freedom
PALTUF is ideal for interior applications such as partitions and screens, while PALSUN products should be used for exterior applications. A wide variety of colors & tints with varying levels of clarity, light transmission, and diffusion are available, including advanced SolarSmart™ tints that offer selective blocking or absorption of specific wavelengths such as infrared radiation.
Cutting and cold-bending can be done onsite to make installation easy. Typical applications include skylights, glazing, curtain walls, façades and more.
Main Benefits
- Lightweight - half the weight of glass
- Extremely strong - 200 times stronger than glass
- Withstands nature’s most extreme climates
- Easy to fabricate or curve onsite
- Available in glass-clear and a range of colors & tints, including SolarSmart™ tints for optimum solar control
- Available in an array of widths and lengths, including custom sizes with minimum order quantities
FABRICATION
Workable in So Many Ways
PALTUF and PALSUN can be used for a multitude of fabrication applications. They can be cut, routed, drilled, formed, bonded and more. From simple applications like face shields to more sophisticated applications like machine enclosures or parts, PALTUF and PALSUN products provide all of the performance characteristics of polycarbonate, plus consistent quality. PALSUN is also available in optical grades for coating blanks or applications requiring greater optical clarity. For superior abrasion, forced entry, or bullet resistance, consider PALGARD or PALSHIELD.
Main Benefits
- Extremely strong and impact resistant
- Can be cold or hot bent, and thermoformed
- Available clear and in a range of colors
- Available in a wide range of widths and lengths, including custom sizes with minimum order quantities
- Low flammability
- Specialty Sheet Series available for optical grade specifications and other performance requirements
TRANSPORTATION
Just Right for Some Vehicles
Many vehicular applications like ATVs, boats and golf carts are not governed by rigid code standards. They just need a high impact windscreen or window with a high degree of clarity. PALSUN products are ideal for these types of applications.
If you need more advanced abrasion and scratch resistance for more demanding transportation applications, consider PALGARD abrasion-resistant sheets. For railcar-specific glazing applications, consider PALGARD TG transportation-grade sheets.
Main Benefits
- Standard products include clear or bronze tint
- Lightweight & easy to fabricate
- Can be cold or hot bent, and thermoformed
- Available with 1 or 2 sided UV protection
SAFETY & SECURITY
Protection is in its DNA
Polycarbonate is the most impact-resistant transparent material available. PALTUF and PALSUN products offer performance that will satisfy a variety of safety and security applications, such as shields, partitions, machine guards, and more.
In the case of more demanding safety and security applications, if you're looking for advanced abrasion resistance, consider PALGARD abrasion-resistant sheets. For containment or ballistic applications, consider PALSHIELD containment and ballistic solutions.
