Polycarbonate UV Stabilized – Antishock is a high-quality material designed to offer excellent performance in demanding conditions. Compared to standard polycarbonate, this material is more resistant to UV exposure, preventing degradation and maintaining its mechanical and optical properties for longer. For maximum resistance to sun exposure, we provide profiles and tubes with an additional specific anti-UV layer.
