As much as we love and need sunlight in architecture and horticulture; we dislike the oppressive heat it can bring to closed spaces. Conventional shading systems diminish the transmission of light while they reduce the energy of the solar radiation.
What's the solution to this problem? - A shading system for glazing based on selectivity that allows the sun's light to pass indoors while keeping its heat outdoors.
VUCAN Pearly reflect the sunlight's invisible heat radiation while allowing the majority of visible light to pass.
What is selectivity? - The relationship of light transmittance to the total solar transmittance.
VUCAN offers the perfect solution. Whether for skylights, greenhouses, blinds or conservatories, as a translucent heat reflecting pigment, VULCAN Pearly allow selective transmission of the incident solar radiation, which is coupled with additional extra weathering resistant coating.

Best known for its high impact-strength, formability and non-electrical conductivity, polycarbonate is highly transparent to visible light, with better light transmission than many kinds of glass.
The interference color can also be easily altered with the color pigment additives.
For areas requiring not only shade in color, but also heat reduction, VULCAN polycarbonate sheets can also be tailored by adding infrared blocking material, thus lowering heat penetration and temperatures, while at the same time, provide extra shade and reduced glare.

For indoor applications or areas requiring only aesthetic appeal, the interference, or reflective color of VULCAN polycarbonate sheets can be easily altered with the color pigment additives.
Not only can colors be altered, the transmission rate, value, and intensity can also be tailored to suit the environment.
For certain colors such as VULCAN Valuview Opal, light diffusers are added to increase haze, and can be used in areas requiring ample light but also privacy.

It's a known fact that polycarbonate is highly transparent to visible light, with transmission rates on par if not better than all thermoplastics, and offer better light transmission than many kinds of glass.
For those requiring only maximum visible light penetration, VULCAN offers 2 versions, one which provide maximum visible light penetration, and another which provide maximum but glare free visible light penetration.
What if you wanted maximum visible light penetration but at the same time, minimum heat buildup? In the past, people could only choose one over the other, because heat reduction was automatically associated with lower light penetration. Not any more. With improvements in machinery and material technology, VULCAN is now able to meet both demands on the same sheet - look into the VULCAN Solarshield series for more information.

For areas which require only maximum natural lighting but can do without the glare, look no further. By adding light diffusers in the base material, VULCAN Valuview Opal and LiteGuide sheets creates extra haze which still allows the maximum amount of sunlight to come through, but without the burning affect which comes with direct light penetration.

Solarshield is an IR-protection additive that is designed to work with polycarbonate sheets as a solar heat protection application that attenuates longer wavelength heat-producing infrared radiation very effectively through reflection.
Reflected IR means that surface temperatures of the PC sheets remains low, which prolongs the lifespan of the sheet.
VULCAN Solarshield comes with a 15 year limited warranty*.
VULCAN Solid FLAT Polycarbonate sheet is 250 times over glass, 10 times over FRP and Acrylic Sheets in impact strength.
Solid Flat sheets are also capable of stopping bullets and often used for security purposes.
It's high impact strength and light weight, ease of installation, fireproof and weather resistant properties make them the perfect choice for civil construction and safety glazing.
Comes in sheets and rolls.
Overview:
Solarshield - Transparent IR Protection
VULCAN Solarshield comes with a Greenish tint, and is an inorganic, nano-structured, IR-protection based pigment designed as a solar heat protection application. Solarshield attenuates longer wavelength heat producing infrared radiation very effectively through reflection, but at the same time, retains high clarity, more than 50% of visible light transmission rate, and virtually unnoticeable compared to standard VULCAN Valuview Clear sheets. Being weathering stable means there is no fear of IR-protection loss during weathering and nor does it change color.
