Marlon FSX
Marlon FSX is a flat polycarbonate sheet with dual sided UV protection which prevents 98% of damaging UV radiation from penetrating the sheet, making it perfect for external glazing applications. The UV protection layer enables longer sheet life expectancy in tough climatic conditions, prevents yellowing and guards against loss of strength.
The UV resistance offered by Marlon FSX’s coating can extend the life expectancy of the plastic in its final application, thereby reducing its lifetime environmental impact.
This superior glazing material is 200 times stronger but less than half the weight of glass. Combining UV protection, impact and chemical resistance, light weight and high light transmission, Marlon FSX is ideal for architectural rooflights, barrel vaults, vertical glazing and specialist glazing applications.
Marlon FSX is also available in Marlon BioPlus, the ideal choice for projects that aim to deliver the highest standards in sustainability, allowing companies to demonstrate they are at the forefront of the low carbon circular economy.
Marlon FSX BioPlus is made with a bio-circular attributed resin in which 89% of the fossil based raw material has been replaced by renewable hydrocarbons e.g. from used cooking oil, which dramatically reduces the impact of the finished sheet on the environment, whilst maintaining the same material properties and ease of processing.

Marlon FSX is suitable for the following processes:
- Fabrication
- Routering, milling, sawing
- Guillotining, die cutting
- Engraving
- Drilling
- Cold curving
- Laminating
- Bonding
- Marlon FSX is a high quality, extruded, solid, flat plastic sheet made of polycarbonate with a double sided UV resistant coating
- As polycarbonate is a thermoplastic, it is important to take thermal expansion and contraction into account during any installation process.
- Marlon FSX has been independently tested to various Fire Standards; for the most current certification please contact the Technical Department.
- Marlon FSX is REACH and RoHS compliant, and 100% recyclable
- Any colour option is a through-colour so the colour of a cut edge will match the colour of the surface.
- As the UV resistant properties of Marlon FSX are achieved by a dual sided coating, the cut edges are therefore not protected
