How does UV LIGHT affect the PANELS?
The first resin of our type was used in 1945. Since then, it has been used as a standard building material giving us more than 60 years of applied knowledge and proven technology. As with many other materials, UV light can be destructive. A simple and effective method to avoid this damage is by painting the surface. This completely removes the UV lights detrimental effects and is the recommended protection for our panels. Sailplanes have been around for more than 50 years and are exposed to high levels of UV light, much higher than most other structures. There are yachts built in the 50s that do not show any UV damages. Not only do they need to handle direct UV light, but also the indirect light bouncing on the water surface while being in a salty environment. The wind craft industry builds wind generators with the same material. They use standard paint for protection and give 30 years warranty as this is a requirement for the government programs often financing the installations. A lo
