Modern technologies make human life much easier. This is more true for mass production, as well as construction and other areas, where any new discovery is gradually becoming the property of the whole world. These technologies include polycarbonate, which can already be called a material of widespread use. One of the manufacturers of this product is Polygal, whose products will be discussed today.

Peculiarities

This Israeli company is one of the most famous brands for the production of polycarbonate and related materials. First, you should familiarize yourself with the features of the product.

  • Reliability. Polygal polycarbonate is one of the highest quality in the world, the material has already found application in many areas of human activity. Starting small, the company began to expand significantly, as did the demand for polycarbonate around the world.
  • Quality. Despite the massive use, which, it would seem, should have a negative impact on quality, the company maintains a high standard of quality, not only maintaining it, but also improving it as its products are improved. As for the creation of the material itself, it is produced all over the world and in many countries, thanks to which large high-tech factories supply entire regions of the world with products.
  • Feedback. A subsidiary company Polygal under the name "Polygal Vostok" is active on the territory of our country. Due to the location in the Russian Federation, the buyer can not only have feedback, but also carry out wholesale purchases of various products, which is quite convenient when implementing large-scale projects.
  • Wide range of. You can choose from honeycomb, monolithic slabs and their subspecies, which differ in their variety. It concerns not only the color palette, but also the shape and size of the material. Slabs are available in thicknesses from 1.5 mm, including 4 and 6 mm, which are the most commonly used in everyday life.

Variety of assortment

Cellular

It is worth starting the review with cellular polycarbonate, which is more applicable in a domestic environment. The main advantages of the material are low specific gravity, as well as high strength, which makes these products very convenient to use.

Combined with an ultraviolet protective layer and resistance to various weather conditions, this material will reliably protect the required place and will serve for a long time.

Transparency (82% light transmittance) is very important for greenhouses as the plants need to get enough solar radiation. It is worth noting the wide temperature range, when working in which you will not have any problems with the material. The lower mark from -40 and the upper to +120 degrees will allow you to use this polycarbonate even at elevated temperatures, which significantly expands the scope of application.

Considering that it is a chemical polymer, it is quite environmentally friendly, fire resistant and flexible due to its structure, so the main physical damage is not terrible for a material with similar characteristics.

Further, it is worth considering certain types of this material.

  • "Standard" - the basic model, which became known all over the world. Strength, lightness, accessibility, versatility - all this applies to this polycarbonate.Allowing to create high-quality and reliable structures, this option is most applicable in construction, where the material does not require specific or additional properties.
  • "Practical" - a model that differs from the "Standard" primarily in its lightweight design. Among the main advantages, it is also worth noting the lower cost, which is possible due to the design. The main area of ​​application of this polycarbonate is everyday life, namely the manufacture of arches, awnings, greenhouses and other structures.
  • "Standard Titan Sky" - especially durable panels, the basis of which is an X-shaped structure, which provides unique thermal insulation and shock-resistant characteristics, as well as a good structural density. Of course, this model is more expensive, but it is very reliable and durable. Such polycarbonate is used in large-scale projects, where it is not about cost, but about the final quality.
  • "Cellular hummingbird" - a material with a simple structure and low cost. Having not the best shock-resistant properties and not designed for a large load, this model is most often used in the manufacture of greenhouses and roof spans. It should be said that the Kolibri version was developed for the Russian market, therefore this material is often used in our country.

Monolithic

Now it is necessary to say about monolithic polycarbonate, which has its own characteristics. It is high impact resistance, 2-sided UV layer, low flammability. Excellent transparency at the level of glass, good sound insulation, low weight compared to similar chemical materials, and resistance to extreme temperatures.

  • The first model of this type is "Monogal", which, due to its properties, is very effective for use in places with a high level of hooliganism and vandalism. Given the strength of this product, it can last a long time even in difficult conditions. Good flexibility and high quality sound insulation allow Monogal to be used in many projects where glazing is required.
  • "Monolithic hummingbird" - like the cellular model, in comparison with the standard version of "Monogal", it has a lightweight structure. It should be noted that this material is popular on the territory of Russia, as it is less expensive than others, but at the same time meets the necessary requirements for physical and chemical properties.

Polygal polycarbonate has a wide range of applications and is actively used in architecture, agriculture, lighting engineering, road construction, light industry and various designs.

Color palette

The manufacturer offers the consumer a wide color palette of its products. Most of the colors range from white to black with various shades of gray, but there are also reds, oranges, purples, yellows, greens and other bright and juicy colors.

Due to the presence of such a number of shades, the design of polycarbonate as a whole is noticeably simplified, because the color required by the buyer is most likely provided by the manufacturer.

How to store and cut?

For proper storage of polycarbonate, make sure it is not under excessive physical stress. It is best to leave the material in its original packaging, if not, then cover it with polyethylene. The stack height should not exceed 2 meters. Place the plates horizontally, watch the ends so that dirt and moisture do not get into them. The storage area must be cleaned in advance, as well as remove all heating devices that may be nearby.

You can cut polycarbonate with various tools, for example, a simple grinder with a 125th circle - a quick and time-tested method. You can also use a thick stationery knife, jigsaw, metal hacksaw, or even a laser.It is important that the process itself is the most correct, for which it is worth making smooth movements, thereby preserving the structure of the material and making an even cut. It is also worth saying that everything that can be used to cut metal is suitable for cutting, if you do not have one of the tools given in the example.

Review overview

Before purchasing a product from any manufacturer, it is necessary to study the reviews of real buyers who used the material for its intended purpose and can draw a conclusion about its main properties declared by the supplier.

Among the advantages of Polygal polycarbonate, people note the high quality of products, which is achieved through high-tech production. In addition, the versatility of standard polycarbonate models is mentioned. A wide range of applications is considered the main advantage of the product, according to consumers.

Users believe that another positive side is good feedback, which is achieved thanks to the presence of 11 branches throughout Russia, located most optimally in different regions. You can choose a distributor based on your location, which is very convenient, say large buyers.

Of the shortcomings, it can be noted, perhaps, not the lowest price on the polycarbonate market in Russia. Some consumers argue that such material can be purchased much cheaper without losing quality.
