-
Light in
weight: It has only half the weight of glass.
-
Weather
resistance: Excellent resistence to sunlight and
outdoor weather conditions.
-
Water
clear: Colorless sheets are as clear as crystal
glass.
-
Light
absorption: Minimum in clear transparent sheets.
-
Luminous
color effect: Transparent, translucent and opaque
colors are available with superior surface glass.
-
Light
diffusion: Opal white translucent sheets diffuse
light uniformly in all directions.
-
Breakage
resistance: Tough and resilient & hence safe in use.
-
Easy
formability: Can be shaped by simple thermoforming
processes.
-
Easy
machinability: Can be machined like soft metals.
-
Low
thermal conductivity: Almost equivalent to phenolics
and only one-sixth of glass.
-
Surface
hardness: surface hardness is almost same as that of
aluminum.
-
Chemical
resistance: Insolvent to most inorganic chemicals
but dissolves in ketone, esters, aromatic hydrocarbons &
chiorinated solvents etc.
