MACROLUX® MULTIWALL sheets are manufactured in a wide range of versions and they can fit every project requisite.

Special Layers
Base version LL UV protected sheets on 1 side.
Available versions for the Solar Control HS Reflective sheets with a special surface treatment that allow to effectively reflect much of the infrared radiation.
ATHERMIC Dual color sheets that serve the dual purpose of reducing heat gain inside the room and shielding the interior to stop too much light getting in.
IR Translucent sheets that combines the absorbing and reflective properties, reducing the amount of infrared radiation, responsible of the “green house effect”.
Additional “UV” Treatments NO UV Sheets not protected from the effect of UV rays.
XL UV protected sheets on 2 sides
PLUS Sheets with increate, extra strong protection from UV rays.
Other Treatments MINDEW Sheets with treatment on the inside to stop condensation dripping off the surface and falling into the room.
ANTISTATIC Sheets with treatment which reduces the static electricity surface, minimizing the effect of attracting dust.
Particular Colors BICOLOR Sheets made with a special method to produce one color on the inside and a different color on the outside.

Heat Expansion

Macrolux Multiwall PC sheet has a higher heat expansion coefficient than standard construction materials such as glass, steel and aluminum. Specific clearance between the sheet and the structural frame has to be calculated in order to ensure proper installation.

Material Heat Expansion Coefficient (inch/ftºF)
Macrolux Multiwall 3.6x10-5
Glass 5x10-5
Steel 8x10-5
Aluminum 1.6x10-5

Fire Behavior

Macrolux Multiwall PC sheet is produced using world class high-quality polycarbonate resin. It does not burn easily and has been defined as a self-extinguishable material by international standards in different countries.

  • In order to avoid condensation in the sheet cells and sheet deterioration, always place the sheet with the cells in the vertical direction.
  • Always store the sheets in horizontal position, never against the floor. Apply aluminum tape to seal the cells after cutting the sheet. Do not walk over the sheets.
  • Do not apply direct load on the sheet with foot or knee. Use wood platforms or supports to spread out the pressure during installation.
  • Remove IIV protecting masking only and right after installation; never before and never after hours of being installed.
  • Macrolux® PC sheet can be cut to size using tools for standard materials such as cutters and saws. However, it is recommended the use of a table with fixed
  • knives for a cleaner cut.
  • It is not recommended to drill holes in the sheet. Rather than this, the recommendation is the use of aluminum or polycarbonate profiles to fix the sheets to the structure.
  • Never use PVC profiles when installing Macrolux®PC sheets.

Cleaning and Maintenance

  • For general cleaning it is recommended to use a non-abrasive, solvent free neutral soap with water.
  • Rinse with high-pressure washer-Use a soft cloth or sponge to loosen any remaining of dirt and grime. Never use abrasive cleaners or brushes. Do not scrub the sheet surface.
  • Never clean with gasoline, benzene or acetone.

Bonding Adhesives

It is recommended to use silicone based sealant such as Dow Corning- 791 or equivalent.
