HANDLING & STORAGE:
Stack short sheets on top of
longer ones. Store sheets in a cool
and dry place out of direct
sunlight. To prevent solar heat
buildup, avoid covering the stack
of sheets with a dark tarp or other
heat absorbing material.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE:
• Use only 100% silicone.
• Do not put polycarbonate in contact
with PVC.
• Polycarbonate is generally unaffected
by acids, alcohol, glycols, mineral oil,
animal and vegetable fats, kerosene,
and non-abrasive cleaners.
• Call for complete list of chemicals.

STORAGE & HANDLING:
• Store sheets in a cool and dry place.
• Do not stack sheets covered or
uncovered in direct sunlight.
• If left in sun, protective film on sheet
may become difficult to remove.
• Stacking may cause sheets to heat
up and distort.
• Avoid putting panels in direct
contact with cements or paints.
DRILLING & SCREWING:
• Use only new or sharply ground steel
or carbide tipped drills.
• Pre-drill fixing holes by at least 5/64”
larger than screw for expansion.
• Use 3/4” neoprene bonded washers.
• Recommended Screws and Washers:
- Wood: #10 2” Sharp Tip w/.75” washer
- Treated Wood: #12 2” Pan head w/.75” washer
- Steel: #12 1.5” Self-Drill w/.75” washer
- Aluminum: #12 1.5” Self-Drill w/.75” washer
SAWING:
• Keep masking on the sheet to prevent
scratching.
• Sheets cut with fine-toothed band saw
or circular saw with fine tooth blades.
• Utility knives can also be used to cut.
• Clamp sheets to prevent vibration.
• Remove powder or debris from
surface with compressed air/vacuum.
END CLOSURE:
• Seal ends with anti-dust tape and a
U-Channel.
• Drill holes every 12” with a 1/8” drill bit
to allow condensation to drain out.
INSTALLATION:
• Use H-Channel to connect two sheets.
• Fasten all four corners 1 1/2” from edge.
• At purlin supports, fasten 6” from edge.
• Max purlin spacing: 25” 6mm/36” 16mm.
• Do not walk on sheets at any time.
OVERGLAZING:
• Provide 1” to 2” gap between polycar-
bonate and existing glass.
• Allow for thermal expansion and
provide weep holes for drainage.
BENDING:
• Bend sheet longitudinally, never
across sheet width.
• To avoid excess panel stress, do not
bend sheet past minimum diameter.
• Minimum radius: 41” 6mm/110” 16mm.
SLOPE:
• Minimum slope of 2:12 pitch is
required to ensure proper drainage.
• Flutes must run downward .
PROTECTIVE FILM:
• The UV-protected side of sheet is
covered with a printed film.
• The UV-protected side must face
towards the sun.
• UV-protection ensures panels will
not yellow or weaken from exposure.
• Remove 2” of film from edges before
installing. After install is complete,
remove all film immediately.
CLEANING:
• Normal dirt and dust is washed off
by periodical rains.
• Regular rinsing of sheets with clean
lukewarm water is recommended.
• Mild household detergent may be
used with a soft rag.
• Never use aggressive, abrasive, or
glass window cleaners.
