Marlon-ST-LONGLIFE

Marlon ST Longlife is a structured polycarbonate sheet designed for industrial, commercial and domestic applications where insulating glazing is required.

As the name implies, Marlon ST Longlife has impressive durability characteristics. Marlon ST LONGLIFE structured (multi-layered) polycarbonate sheets have a high degree of resistance to impact (unbreakable material) and are UV protected, which provides higher resistance to weather conditions.

Polycarbonate is also known for its optical and insulating qualities, as well as for its excellent behaviour under fire and its heat insulating characteristic.

The structured polycarbonate sheets are the best choice for:

Skylights on
warehouses

Roofs on
pools and greenhouses

Curved and flat
roofs

Exhibition booths

Wrought iron
gate panelling

Marginal
enclosures

Sun-blinds and
curtain walls

Roofs on
stadiums and gyms

The durability of the Marlon ST LONGLIFE structured polycarbonate sheets is also certified by the 10 year warranty provided by the manufacturer.

Marlon ST LONGLIFE characteristics and advantages:

• Power saving - good heat insulation
  
  
• Light weight - allows saving on mounting substructure
  
  
• Transparency - over 80% throughout the panels' lifetime
  
  
• UV protection - prevents deterioration and yellowing of polycarbonate sheets
  
  
• Resistance to deterioration - 200 times tougher than glass
  
  
• Impact resistance
  
  
• Fire resistance - Class I (as per BS476 part 7)
  
  

The structured polycarbonate sheets can be transparent, opal, smoky (bronze) and in a wide range of colours (blue, green, grey) as well as in the Heatguard version. Also, Heatguard sheets are available in a double opal and bronze tint.

The choice of colour depends on the design in question.

Transparent polycarbonate is used in areas with a cold climate where light transmission is important.
Coloured polycarbonate sheets are used in areas with a warm climate.
In designs where diffusion of light is required such as supermarkets, opal prevents the sunlight from concentrating on one area and creates a warm atmosphere with soft uniform light.

Standard dimensions of Marlon ST sheets: 6,000 x 2,100 mm and 3,000 x 2,100 mm.

The installation of Marlon ST Longlife structured polycarbonate sheets is achieved in the following stages:

1. Make sure the UV protected film is to the outside

2. A breather tape is applied to the bottom of the polycarbonate sheet

3. Drainage of condensed water vapours is encouraged by installing the sheet with its ribs running in the direction of the slope

4. The channels of the structured polycarbonate sheets must be sealed at the top as shown in the diagram
