VULCAN LiteGuide

Soft and Dispersed Lighting

 

LiteGuide Technology: Soft and Dispersed Lighting

VULCAN LiteGuide helps filter either incoming sunlight or interior lighting, creating a soft and dispersed lighting, which eliminates burn on plants, vegetation, animals and even human beings.

 

VULCAN Polycarbonate LED Solid Flat LiteGuide panel/sheet  is specially designed for structures, buildings and greenhouses requiring dispersed and soft lighting. Dispersed lighting eliminates burn on plants, vegetation, animals and even human beings.

 

VULCAN Polycarbonate LiteGuide adds a special material to the polycarbonate base material, which creates a light dispersing affect as flat panel screens. LiteGuide is the best choice of material for areas requiring dispersed lighting such as skylights or signs and billboards.

 

SOLID FLAT Sheet Properties

VULCAN Polycarbonate SOLID FLAT sheets are designed specifically for buildings and construction. Sheets above 6mm are capable of stopping bullets and are most often used for security purposes. It’s high impact strength and lightweight compared to glass, ease of installation, fireproof and weather resistant properties make VULCAN Solid Flat sheets the perfect choice over glass, FRP and Acrylic*. VULCAN Plastics currently have two machines dedicated to Solid Flat sheets production.

*Polycarbonate impact strength: 250 times over glass, 10 times over FRP and Acrylic.

Product Strengths

Base Material

• 100% Virgin UV included raw material ensures that your sheets can withstand harmful UV rays for at least one year.

UV400 Coating

• Optical Grade SD Polyca UV400 coating as used on lenses, glasses, and sunglasses. 99.5% of harmful UV wavelengths between 290nm~400nm are blocked.

Production Method

• Co-Extrusion ensures evenly spread, evenly thick base material and UV coating. (A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link.)

High impact resistance

• 250 times the impact strength over glass and 10 times over FRP and Acrylic.

Fire Retardant

• Polycarbonate sheets produced with 100% Virgin material have a melting point of at least 190 degrees Celsius and produce only odorless smoke when burned.

Design Flexibility

• VULCAN Polycarbonate sheets can be tailored with different coatings to provide different light transmission rates and properties. Customers can choose between LiteGuide, Pearly RED, Pearly GREEN, Ti-Lite, and Valuview.

 

Quality Standards

VULCAN Polycarbonate sheets are produced with the highest of standards available in the industry. We are the first Polycarbonate manufacture in Asia to incorporate clean rooms for all of our extrusion lines. Our latest Breyer Solid Flat sheet machine is installed in a Class 5000 clean room (the maximum number of particles per cubic foot of air of diameter greater or equal to 0.5 µm is 5000).

 

Machinery

We have a total of 5 co-extrusion lines, 2 for corrugated sheets and 3 for solid sheets. Our machines are imported from Toshiba-Hitachi Japan, Omipa Italy and Breyer Germany. Our co-extrusion machine uses feedblocks from the industry leading EDI (Extrusion Dies Industries) company and controlled by the also industry leading Dynisco company computers.

Raw Material and Machinery

VULCAN Polycarbonate Valuview SOLID FLAT sheets are double sided, UV400 co-extruded with Extrusion Dies Industries (EDI) feedblocks, using SD Polyca Optical Grade UV400 material from Sumitomo Dow Chemicals Japan, thus providing maximum protection against harmful UV rays, both inside and out.

 

VULCAN Polycarbonate Valuview SOLID FLAT sheets are produced from Asia's larget polycarbonate extrusion machine.

Toshiba - Hitachi

Breyer

 

VULCAN Polycarbonate Valuview SOLID FLAT sheets can reach a thickness of 15mm.

 

Impurity leads to less quality, which is why VULCAN Polycarbonate SOLID FLAT sheets are produced in Class 5000 clean rooms; the cleaner the environment, the cleaner the sheets, and hence a longer lifespan.

 

Standard colors are: Clear, Bronze, Blue, Green and Opal; other colors can be made to order.
