At 1/4 the weight of greenhouse glass on a square-foot basis, Redco™ Polycarbonate reduces labor costs through simplified transportation and installation. Usable on both gable and quonset-style greenhouses, easy-to-install panels can be attached directly to the greenhouse frame using our recommended fastener methods.

Manufactured with an integral layer that protects from the damaging effects of sunlight, Redco™ Polycarbonate will remain clear for many years with minimal deterioration. Light transmittance for clear Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet, the most important criterion for growers, remains at 90% even during accelerated Q.U.V. tests.

Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet is grower friendly. Essentially opaque to ultraviolet light at wave lengths below 385 nanometers, Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet blocks out the harmful UV light while letting in high amounts of visible light.

Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet provides an optimal growing environment by transmitting visible light as well as glass (90% as measured by ASTM standards).

With 20x the impact resistance of fiberglass and over 40x the impact resistance of glass, Redco™ Polycarbonate is incredibly effective at resisting hail, wind and vandalism.

Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet can withstand over 240 inch-pounds of impact, the equivalent of a 3/4″ hailstone falling at 96 miles per hour! From temperatures -40°F to 250°F, rest assured that Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet will maintain its strength no matter the situation.

Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet’s thermal insulating properties provides a U value of 1.2 (fiberglass = 1.56).

While Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet is unharmed by many chemical substances, it is important to avoid contact with incompatible adhesives, paints or solvents. Chemicals to avoid include benzene, gasoline, acetone, and carbon tetrachloride. Only recommended cleaners should be used to clean Redco™ Polycarbonate sheet.

Exhibiting superior flammability performance compared to typical fiber reinforced polyester (FRP and acrylic sheet materials, Redco™ Polycarbonate is an approved light-transmitting plastic as described by all three model building codes (ICBO, BOCA and SBCCI). These include ASTM D 635, D 1929 and D 2843.
