16 mm ACRYLITE® Resist high impact acrylic double-skin sheet

JUST IN: Formula enhancements implemented in 2016 have doubled the impact resistance of this product!

16 mm ACRYLITE^® Resist is a high impact acrylic double-skinned sheet that is light transmitting, heat insulating and highly weather resistant. Made from impact-modified acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate, or PMMA) polymer, it is used mainly as glazing for sloped roof and vertical applications. This product is ideal for situations that require a high load-carrying, long-lasting, glazing material with exceptional impact resistance, hail resistance and toughness combined with easy installation.

The advantages of using 16 mm ACRYLITE^® Resist in greenhouses and controlled growing environments include:

extraordinary clarity with UV resistance offering protection against excessive amounts of UV radiation
Added protection from a completely non-toxic biologically neutral Anti Algae Application that prevents algae, mosses and pollen from adhering to the sheet encouraging decomposition by the natural UV radiation from the sun
greater impact resistance during transportation, handling and installation
greater hail resistance with a 10-year warranty for withstanding hailstones with a kinetic energy of 1 joule
high light transmission in the PAR and visible spectral energy wavelengths – 86%
insulating values are offer energy savings of up to 50% and reduced CO2 emissions
patented NO DRIP anti-condensate control coating that, when installed on the outside of the roof, maintains optimal transparency even in bad weather and causes condensation to flow off as a continuous self-cleaning film
when installed on the inside of the roof, patented NO DRIP coating prevents uncontrolled dripping that can result in crop damage and disease
easily customizable with stock lengths available up to 28 feet and custom lengths up to 36 feet
choice of colours available includes Clear, Bronze, Solar Cool White, Light White, Sunglass Gray, HEATSTOP Pearl and HEATSTOP Cool Blue
30-year non-yellowing, 10-year light transmission guarantees

When subjected to a uniform snow load of 15 lb/sq.ft., the 47-1/4” wide sheet, installed on 4 ft. centers, can be installed without any additional cross members up to 16ft. in a suitable aluminum assembly glazing system. Refer to load chart for additional detail.
