Optical Characteristics
All PALSUN products completely screen out potentially the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation (discussed in detail on page 19) and
a signicant amount of Near Infrared (NIR) radiation. Over the visible range, a typical 3mm (0.12in.) PALSUN and PALTUF clear sheet
transmits, on average, 90% of incident light. The % light transmission of a typical 3mm (0.12in.) PALSUN and PALTUF clear sheet is
presented in the left-hand graph below. In the visible range of the spectrum, clear PALSUN and PALTUF sheets admit from 87% to
91% of the light, depending on the sheet thickness as shown in the upper left graph.
