Opal white polycarbonate is 28% translucent. Compared to normal glass, this material is half lighter and thirty times stronger. In addition, it is UV-resistant and suitable for contact with food. This makes this material ideal for greenhouses, for example. This material is more scratch-sensitive than glass. We therefore recommend that you polish the plates to maintain transparency. Do you want to keep them clean and dust-free for a long time? Then clean the plates with an anti-static cleaner.
