Weather Resistant Diamond Embossed Polycarbonate Sheet 2mm — Roofing & Privacy Screening Solution
If you want to place it outside you need materials that can stand UV exposure, precipitation and temperature fluctuations without losing clarity or structural integrity. The Baoding Sinhai Sunboard Manufacturing Co., Ltd. weather resistant diamond embossed polycarbonate sheet 2mm comes as the answer to these needs. It is made from 100% virgin polycarbonate with a co-extruded UV protection coating and is manufactured for roofing, carports, privacy fence and pathway canopies where strength and light diffusion are important.
What Sets the Diamond Embossed Surface Apart?
Regular smooth PC sheets reflect direct sunlight at just one angle, causing glare and making any surface scratch clearly evident. The diamond embossed design on this sheet splits up the incoming light across numerous facets, spreading it more evenly and lessening the blinding effect sometimes seen on flat roofing panels.
The textured surface is also more ready to tackle the wear and tear of regular use in high-traffic installations. You’ll see fingerprints, scuff scratches and surface markings gradually appearing on carports, bus shelters and pathway canopies but they are considerably less noticeable on the embossed finish than they would be on a flat glass panel.
The sheet is light with a density of 1.2 g /cm 3 . The embossed design provides noticeable surface stiffness over a flat 2mm sheet. This is useful in situations where the panel spans between supports without extra framing.

Material and UV Protection
Each sheet is formed from 100% virgin new polycarbonate. Projects with more stringent resin traceability requirements might request imported SABIC or BAYER material.
The UV protection layer is applied by coextrusion and not by surface coating. This process incorporates it directly into the sheet during manufacture, avoiding the peeling or delamination concerns of post-applied coatings. The standard layer is 50 microns, with variants up to 101 microns for single or double face protection. Under this standard, the Yellowness Index is less than 3 over 10 years.
Typical Applications
A variety of business and residential solutions employ the weather resistant diamond embossed polycarbonate sheet 2mm:
- Roofing & Carports - Impact resistant to hail Cold bending to ~350 mm radius for arched roof designs
- Privacy Fences & Courtyard Screens — The diamond pattern blocks direct sightlines but allows natural light penetration Industrial Skylights & Walkways — Less heat concentration and better working conditions in production locations due to diffused light
- Bus Shelters with Balcony Railings - Visual concealment while allowing sunshine through, a typical specification in urban infrastructure projects
- Outdoor LED Signage & Light Diffusion Panels — The embossed surface helps in spreading light from individual LED sources more equally over the face of the panel
Buyers that want impact resistance and attractive finish utilise this product in West Asia, Hong Kong and South American markets.
Quality Control
Baoding Sinhai inspection is performed in 3 phases, raw material intake, in-process manufacturing and pre-shipment.
There are four particular sections on this document that are checked:
- UV Layer Thickness – Co-extruded layer satisfies 50 micron minimum confirmed using cross-section microscopy Impact Resistance – Falling Dart Impact Test (ASTM D3763) demonstrates no breaking at 2mm thickness
- Dimensional Tolerance — Thickness variation of ±0.05mm for good fit in frame and gasket systems
- Accelerated Weathering – Tensile strength and color stability is verified under simulated sun exposure by QUV aging tests (ASTM G154)
Baoding Sinhai was one of the key writing units of China’s National Standard for Polycarbonate Sheets, which was formally adopted on April 1, 2025. This degree of engagement shows direct technical accountability for the specification and testing of these goods throughout the industry.

FAQ
Q1: Why choose a diamond embossed finish over standard clear corrugated?
A: The diamond finish diffuses light to reduce glare and hides surface scratches more effectively than a flat clear panel. For roofing and screening applications in direct sun, this difference is noticeable over time.
Q2: What color options are available?
A: Available colors include transparent, bronze, grey, opal, lake blue, amber, dark blue, silver, orange, and yellow. Custom colors are available to match specific project requirements.
Q3: Is this sheet waterproof?
A: Yes. It is suitable for roofing, canopies, and enclosures with direct rain exposure.
Q4: What warranty is provided?
A: A 10-year warranty applies to this sheet. The co-extruded UV layer is designed to keep the Yellowness Index below 3 across this period.
Q5: Which markets use this product most?
A: It is commonly specified in West Asia, Hong Kong, and South American markets, where buyers need both strong impact resistance and a finished visual appearance.
Q6: Does the diamond texture make cleaning more difficult?
A: No. A pressure wash or mild soap solution is sufficient for routine cleaning.
