UV Protection

Ampelite Lexan* Thermoclear* has been used on many of the largest sports stadiums in the world, including
the Sydney and Beijing Olympic stadium. This is largely due to the proprietary surface coating technology,
which has superior resistance to outdoor weathering.
According to accelerated 4,000 hours weathering tests, Ampelite Lexan* Thermoclear* multiwall sheet is
superior to other available polycarbonate multiwall glazing products. This is reflected through a superior
ten year limited written warranty.
Ampelite Lexan* Thermoclear* is also warranted for 10 years against hail damage and excessive loss of
light transmission. Please consult your nearest Ampelite office for full warranty details.
