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

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

8 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 curved roof and vertical applications. Wherever a high load carrying, long-lasting glazing material with exceptional impact resistance, hail resistance and toughness combined with easy installation is required, this is the product for the application. When used in a flat-sloped application, point fastening is recommended.

The advantages of using 8 mm ACRYLITE^® Resist in greenhouse and controlled growing environments include:

greater impact resistance during transportation, handling and installation
high light transmission in the PAR and visible spectral energy wavelengths – 84%
isolative values that are 75% better than single glazing, providing energy savings of up to 40% 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
new anti-algae coating
easily customizable with stock lengths available up to 28 feet. and custom lengths up to 36 feet
choice of colours available including Clear, Light White, Manhattan Satin and HEATSTOP Pearl
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 8’-10” in a suitable aluminum assembly glazing system. Refer to load chart.
