White Polycarbonate Sheet

Altuglas International, maker of the high-quality Plexiglas® acrylic and Tuffak® polycarbonate lines of products, has introduced its nextgeneration Tuffak® XL white polycarbonate sheet that offers dramatic, unmatched levels of performance in terms of light diffusion behavior and weathering characteristics.

With growing trends toward signs illuminated by LED sources to conserve energy and reduce operating costs, this latest formulation breakthrough brings to the market a unique polycarbonate sheet technology containing exceptionally strong diffusivity properties for eliminating hot spots and achieving an even, uniform glow. Several large retail chains are so excited with the significant improvements in hiding the pinpoint patterns of light in LED applications that they are specifying the exclusive use of this advanced version of Tuffak® XL in their national sign programs.

Tuffak® XL white polycarbonate sheet is produced via a patented proprietary process that creates a built-in ultraviolet barrier to resist weathering. The sheet’s advantages include extended life, longer-term yellowing resistance, greater diffusion properties to hide light sources and higher light transmission to lower power requirements. Based on extensive testing at Altuglas International, the improved product displays much better weathering properties than other white polycarbonate sheet products.
