This Solid Polycarbonate is opposing to extreme weather conditions and UV. It can have a life of about 15 – 20 years when used outside and is completely durable in all weathers. The excellent strength of it is one of the reasons it is used for outdoor application such as windbreaks and skylights etc. For these purposes, it also helps that Solid Polycarbonate is UV and weather resistant. Its thick surface doesn’t allow the water and dust to stick with it. Therefore Regular cleaning with an anti-static plastic cleaner is recommended to avoid the sheet from attracting dust.
