Message
Stock shapes extruded from Ardel® resin are specifically formulated to endure the damaging effects of UV light. When exposed to UV light, this unique material undergoes a molecular rearrangement resulting in the formation of a protective layer that essentially serves as a UV stabilizer. This inherent UV stability combined with superior retention of optical and mechanical properties make polyarylate an ideal choice for any application where weathering effects could pose a problem.

Applications Include:
  • Semiconductor components
  • Solar energy components
  • Appliance parts
  • Snap lock connectors

Advantages of Ardel:
  • Exceptional UV stability
  • Transparency
  • Toughness
  • Excellent flexural fatigue resistance
