3 Multiwall Polycarbonate Marlon ST Longlife is a remarkable insulating glazing material manufactured from damageresistant polycarbonate with added coextruded longlife protection from the effects of UV weathering. Polycarbonate is best known for its ver y high impact resistance, fine optical clarity and excellent fire performance. These unique qualities, along with the extended UV protection and insulating multiwalled structure of Marlon ST Longlife, combine to provide the ideal glazing option for a range of domestic, leisure and industrial applications. Marlon ST Longlife is manufactured by Brett Mar tin, a company renowned for its exper tise in roof glazing materials produced under Quality Management Systems registered to BS EN ISO 9001:08.

4 Product Benefits ENERGY SAVING In colder climates the insulation benefits of Marlon ST Longlife are an impor tant feature. The 55mm tenwall structure, with a U value of 0.83W/m 2 K, is one of the most energy efficent glazing materials available, with better insulation proper ties than most triple glazing or argon filled double glazing, so is ideal for use as par t of a heated structure. RELATIVE UVALUES W/m 2 K LIGHTWEIGHT Marlon ST Longlife has a ver y high stiffness to weight ratio. As the sheet weight is ver y low, suppor t structures need not be as heavy as in the case of traditional materials. This in turn offers savings in structure and installation costs.
