Polycarbonate characteristics

The material, which in its own configuration, has two or more layers of plastic on a polymeric basis, which are linked to each other, is called polycarbonate. This is a shock -resistant, heat -insulating material with a coefficient of light permeability, which is close to glass .

Polycarbonate structure

The polycarbonate sheet has 2 layers, it is external and internal. The external side must have the manufacturer’s logo and the coating that the material from ultraviolet rays protects the material. This coating is not necessary for plants, but by the structure. If you collect it and, with all this, put a polycarbonate with a side of the protection function or just take a poor quality polycarbonate (without protection against ultraviolet rays), then your working period of your greenhouse will be less than three years.

In addition, polycarbonate of poor quality when heated in sunlight emits dangerous substances into the atmosphere, at the same time a nasty aroma will be noticeable. The material is called polycarbonate with good quality, which in the mass of the layer of the outside has additives for ultraviolet protection. This material is made of primary raw materials and has a relatively large price, also confirms the site // Teplicy — all about greenhouses.

So in order to buy quality material, you need to make sure the first thing you need to make sure that it is a polycarbonate of good quality, it contains additives to protect against ultraviolet radiation and is made without additive or with a small addition of recyclables. The second, in order to guarantee the structure a much long working period, to figure out where the polycarbonate has external, and where is the inner side.

Again, you need to pay attention to what the thickness of polycarbonate is necessary, it must be at least 4 mm. You need to directly ask the managers about what the thickness of the polycarbonate. Remember that the thickness is 3.6 mm or 3.8 mm should not be. Only a polycarbonate of poor quality is like a thickness, it will not serve you for a very long time.
