Polycarbonate Sheet (Solid)

Marlon FS Polycarbonate

Durability and design freedom are two of the key features which designers seek when selecting modern materials. Brett Martin Marlon FS polycarbonate offers both features plus many more benefits over traditional glazing and fabrication alternatives. Marlon FS is clearly transparent, maximising light transmission when required and through tints can also offer solar control.

The strength of polycarbonate is now legendary, with unbeatable impact resistance up to 200 times greater than glass and remaining virtually unbreakable, offering protection for those working or playing beneath it. Polycarbonate remains flexible enough however, to be cold curved on site for curved applications.

The entire Marlon FS range is less than half the weight of glass, greatly easing installation, handling and transportation.

Marlon FSX Longlife

Marlon FSX Longlife is a premium quality flat polycarbonate sheet offering superb optical clarity with UV protection. Strength and unbeatable impact resistance are combined to create one of the most versatile materials available today. Below is a typcial application used in an exterior, covered walkway at Cork Airport.

Thermoforming and routering are just two of the many processing alternatives through which Marlon FSX Longlife will achieve excellent results. A wide choice of tints, thicknesses, finishes and UV protection ensure the correct materials are always available.

Co-extruded UV Protection
Marlon FSX Longlife has a high performance UV absorption layer co-extruded on both surfaces which prevents damaging UV radiation from penetrating the sheet. UV protection means longer life, preventing yellowing and loss of life. It cuts out 98% of harmful UV radiation, protecting those working or playing beneath it.

Marlon FS Hard

An innovative protective coating provides Marlon FS Hard with enhanced resistance to marks and scratches compared to standard polycarbonate. With an impact resistance 200 times that of standard glass, Marlon FS offers outstanding protection to both people and property.

Abrasion Tests:
Taber abrasion – Test: ASTM D1044 – 78 Resistance of transparent plastics to surface abrasion. This is the most controlledand most widely accepted method for testign the abrasion resistanceof a transparent substrate. Test CS 10 F abrasion wheels with a 500g load are run across the sheet 100 times.


Chemical Resistant
The hard gloss finish of Marlon FS Hard has been specially formulated to withstand contact from a wide range of cleaning agents and organic solvents, a major advantage over standard polycarbonate. After attack from grafitti artists, Marlon FS Hard can be cleaned.
