Usage temperature is-40/+120°C. It has an amorphous structure, the thermoplastic polymer has a very transparent structure. It is one of the polymers with the best impact resistance in its class. It can be transformed into different forms with the single screw extrusion method and can be colored using masterbatches. Polycarbonate sheets are often preferred in other sectors such as a greenhouse, decoration, and building materials due to their lightweight and easy application feature. For example, the building industry may prefer a multiwall sheet form or a solid sheet form. In the building industry, these sheets are generally used as a roof covering indoor areas. Multiwall sheets gain importance due to their ability to transfer heat in closed areas and to carry snow and wind loads in roof coverings. Multiwall sheets are produced by single-screw extrusion method. In this study, 6 mm thickness polycarbonate sheets were obtained and changes in thermal, optical and strength properties were observed with glass fiber reinforcement on multiwall sheets. Thermal, light transmittance, haze, aging test, and reflectance measurements between 360-780nm were made on the obtained polycarbonate sheets, and the results were examined.
