Polycoolite

Product catalog summary

Introduction: Polycoolite is a polycarbonate roofing material designed to optimize natural solar light for plant photosynthesis. It blocks UV rays, enhances blue and red light, and reflects excess heat from the infrared range.

Specifications:

Sheet Thickness: 5/16” (8mm)
Standard Width: 48”, 72” (1.22m, 1.83m)
Area Weight: 0.33 lb/ft²
Minimum Radius for Cold Bending: 4’7” (1.4m)
U-Value (Winter Night): 0.6 Btu/(h•ft²•ºF)
Solar Reflection: 0.295
Shading Coefficient (SC): 0.65
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: 0.56
Light Transmission (ASTM D1003): 50%

Advantages:

Transmits most light in blue and red wavelengths, reducing excess heat while maintaining high photosynthetic light quality.
Minimizes the need for shading, reducing plant stress and excessive heat gain.
Stable pigments ensure long-term diffusion, creating low-stress environments for plants and people.
Reduces water needs, growth regulator use, and labor costs.
Ideal for retail and grower environments, enhancing plant growth in low-stress conditions.
Compared to Opal or white coverings, Polycoolite offers superior cooling and light quality.
Features an advanced anti-fog coating with a 10-year warranty, reducing condensation and disease risk.

Conclusion: Polycoolite represents a significant advancement in roofing materials, offering enhanced light quality and environmental benefits for plant growth.
