Impact Resistance and Unbreakable
Marklon polyglass is 250 times stronger than regular
glass and 30 times the impact of acrylic. Due to this
feature, maintenance and glazing replacement costs are
minimized.

| 2. |
UV Resistance
Extreme UV exposure and extended periods of sunlight is
the toughest conditions for plastics, as well as paints
and other building materials. Using advanced extrusion
technology, Marklon sheet is coupled with exceptional
resistance to yellowing and hazing. |

| 3. |
High Degree of Transparency and Thermal Insulation
Marklon clear sheet is as transparent as glass with the
light transmission up to 80%. It also insulates up to
50% better than single-pane glass. Double-glazing or over-glazing
on windows, walkway or overhead bridge can save on energy
cost. |

| 4. |
Design Latitude
Marklon sheet can be cut and cold-formed on site into
a small radius of curvature. Its light weight and high
strength reduce the structural support in any kinds
of design. Marklon polyglass comes in sheet and roll
form which are easily transported to site.
