   Duralan II Specifications


The technical information contained here is typical of test results of a particular design. Your application, including the entire assembly, may need to be evaluated and specifically designed
to your requirements. Silver Cloud reserves the right to revise specifications without prior notice.

Transmission Curves and L*, a*, b* Coordinates for Standard DURALAN II Materials, with CLP-260 Surface Finish and Standard .060&Mac253; (1.52 mm) Thickness

The transmission curves are obtained using a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 3, UV/VIS Spectrophotometer in accordance with CIE 1976 USC Chromaticity Diagram.
Transmission curves on L*, a*, b* values are nominal and are to be used as design guidelines only.

L = Lightness Scale
a = Hue – Red and Green Scale
b = Saturation – Blue and Yellow Scale

1000 Clear
L*=88.3
a*=-1.3
b*=-1.1
Temperature: 160°F (72°C)
Humidity: 80% RH
