Palram maintains no control over the manufacturing of commercially available shade compounds – or subsequent changes to those products over time – and therefore cannot recommend any particular product for use.

Shade compound manufacturers are encouraged to contact SPS for assistance in developing a compatibility testing program.

Palram can perform preliminary tests to determine if a product is aggressive to polycarbonate.

Samples can be submitted for testing (2 to 4 oz. is all that is required) should be shipped to:

Palram Americasl
Arcadia West Industrial Park
9735 Commerce Circle
Kutztown, PA, USA 19530

Please be certain to include as much information about the product as possible, as well as a return address and a contact name and phone number.
