POLYCARBONATE GLAZING
Exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is becoming a major health concern. The adverse affects were once thought to be associated with solar UV radiation in the 270 to 320nm (UV-B) range. However, in recent years, it has become apparent to much exposure to UV-A (320-400nm) is also detrimental. In addition to skin cancer, premature aging has been associated with exposure to UV-A. Regent skylights (glazed with PALSUN Polycarbonate) totally block out UV radiation in this portion of the spectrum. Almost all the UV-A radiation is also blocked out. (Taken from ‘Plastral Fidene - Thermal and Optical Properties’). This almost total blockage of UV radiation can be observed in the figure below. Protects against the Harmful Affects of UV Radiation
