Do the polycarbonate panels protect against UV rays?

Yes, check out this video from the manufacturer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c-UujjQMRM&feature;=youtu.be

Yes they do a great job. I live in the south and my orchids love their new home.

I were them here in Louisiana today in fact and it was a sunny day. I believe they do offer protection. There is no UV rating other than a comment somewhere about being standard polarized lenses.

I don't know the answer about UVB and UVA rays I only used them one time as they were too big for my hands and got in the way of the polish. I feel like it is better to cover up all you can while using the light. I had a squamous cell cancer on my foot in a place that hardley ever is in the sun. Hope these work for you.

No it's a very clear but tough polycarbonate not sure of the exact makeup, but of the 3 I have no distortion and no marking so it appears to be very tough.

You can buy colored polycarbonate that is just like translucent green-house polycarbonate. I would assume corrugated metal sheet should work well also. The lighter the better though since cheap 2x2 is not very strong. Could make a 4x8 box inside to support more weight. Wood siding on the outside and a heavy shingle roof will most likely need some 2x4 supports. But with the extra weight the structure needs an even stronger base to more it around (skids etc). Really once you go clear polycarbonate it is hard going back to a dark inside structure especially with single wall corrugated polycarbonate that you can clearly see thru.

I purchased the dark tinted skylight and strongly assume it does block some uv light. I have not tested it to be certain.

They are polycarbonate, and protect from direct impact from tennis balls hit hard from a few feet away. They have worked great for over a year for me. No ASTM spec knowledge.

Not sure about UV protection but still look brand new after a year. Easy to install after watching a how-to video posted on the web. Highly recommend ths product.

It does prevent oxidation. I have no idea about UV protection though. I used it on an application that is exposed to water every day, but is indoors.

The led will be damaged before the acrylic or polycarbonate from heat. They should both withstand the heat just fine.

So far mine is great. Plastics all look good and it's in direct sunlight all day everyday. Not sure if they are actually UV protected though, might be a question or Spalding directly

Hello! Jose, I don't see anything mentioned on the label for this use. I only use it on the paint. Since I live in Tucson & park my Mazda CX-5 Touring outside, I use 303 Aerospace protectant on the plastic & vinyl on the outside & inside. 303 Aerospace protectant helps protect the vehicle from UV and leaves no film. I highly recommend this product for plastic and vinyl..............Bonnie

I believe it is protection from the harmful rays of the sun (ultraviolet A and B). I found this to be a very nice umbrella, by the way, and great on vacation.

After owning the product for several years in Arizona sun, the plastics have cracked and crumbled. We ended up putting heavy bricks on the metal frame. I would suggest that the plastics did not have UV protection.

Here is the response from LensDirect.com: Yes they do provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.

If you are referring to plastic body panels like bumpers that are painted with automotive base coat clear coat, yes. I beleive the film is vinyl and can always be removed with a little heat, it shouldn't leave any mark on the polyurethane clear, the adhesive isn't aggressive (acidic) like other adhesives on pinstripes, i also use the film on plastic headlights and it doesn't etch in any way.

I have no idea if they will block UV...Asking the wrong guy this time, sorry.....
