The 21-colours palette
Because every project is different, and your imagination knows no bounds, the broad arcoPlus® colours palette comes in a range of shades, from the most vibrant to the lightest: red, orange, yellow, green, grey, blue and violet.
But creativity doesn’t stop there. Depending on your project and your ideas, we are able to create new colours in our laboratory, in particular by counter-typing.
UV protection
All arcoPlus® panels are supplied with a surface co-extrusion of UV absorbers that guarantees the products’ lifespan for 10 years. To obtain a product that performs better over time, even in areas with high sun exposure, a special UV-Tech treatment is available that will extend the guarantee by 5 years.
Two-colours panels
Multilayer extrusion technology makes it possible to apply a different colours to the two outer surfaces of multiwall panels. Thanks to our machines, the coloured pigments are co-extruded into the panel, enabling it to retain its aesthetic brightness over time.
Surface treatments available
arcoPlus® panels can be coloured in 21 shades to enhance any architectural feature. They can be customised with additional surface treatments such as UV-MATT, UV-TECH, IR, AR, AB-ABSOLUT, HP, ARCOPURE, to suit the application needs of each project.
Polycarbonate, a versatile material
Discovered in the 1950s, polycarbonate is a polymer with excellent mechanical properties and very good thermal resistance.
Thanks to the progress made over the last few decades, polycarbonate, produced in particular by the Italian manufacturer dott.Gallina under the brand names arcoPlus®, Policarb® and Policomp®, is now a highly technological, environmentally-friendly building material, perfectly suited to RT 2012, HQE, BEPos…

- Structural savingsThanks to their excellent mechanical performance, arcoPlus® systems require fewer support elements, such as horizontal frame rails, reducing structural costs and providing additional aesthetic benefits.
- EnvironmentThe energy needed to produce arcoPlus® Policarb® and Policomp® sheets is generated by the factory using solar panels. Once implemented, the systems comply fully with the requirements of the HQE (High Environmental Quality) label. To find out more
- Thermal insulationEven better, thanks to cells whose width has been designed to achieve the best compromise between aesthetics and thermal resistance, thanks to the very low conductivity of air (0.0262W/m². K). The use of arcoPlus® polycarbonate solutions is therefore one of the determining factors in the excellent energy efficiency of your buildings.
- BrightnessThe wide range of thicknesses, colours and finishes of arcoPlus® polycarbonate means that light transmission and solar factors can be adjusted to meet the requirements of each project.
- Versatility of useIts intrinsic qualities and range of colours and treatments mean that arcoPlus® polycarbonate can be used in a wide variety of applications, from building envelopes to interior decoration.
- Mechanical strength250 times stronger than glass, yet much lighter, arcoPlus® polycarbonate is highly resistant to impact (Q4O3), but above all the rigid systems mean that the distance between purlins can be extended, reducing both cost and environmental impact.
- Certifications DTA (Documents Techniques d’Application), Fire, Acoustic and Impact ensure a certified environment for the use of arcoPlus® polycarbonate.
Poly-Pac, the leading expert in polycarbonate, with the widest range on the market, from Interlocking to connectable.
While interlocking polycarbonate allows for rapid installation, as the panels fit together easily using clicks or notches, connectable polycarbonate requires connectors or profiles to join the panels together, giving the system greater durability and performance.
These connectors can be made of aluminium or polycarbonate, and are used to reinforce the assembly and make the structure more watertight or solid.
Interlocking polycarbonate: Direct male-female assembly, ideal for simple structures
arcoPlus® interlocking translucent façades are a complete range of 40mm and 60mm thick systems designed for all types of buildings.
The quick installation of an arcoPlus® interlocking façade makes it ideal for thermal renovations of industrial buildings or low to high gymnasium façades (up to 16m high).
Connectable polycarbonate: Requires connectors for assembly, offering solutions that are more rigid, customisable and configurable, particularly through treatments and finishes.
arcoPlus® connectable translucent systems, available in six thicknesses from 8mm to 32mm and in widths of 600mm and 900mm, are the ideal solution for combining the comfort of natural light with the aesthetics of technically advanced façades.
The certified quality of arco-Plus® connectable solutions makes it possible to achieve the best compromise between aesthetics and performance for your façades and roofs (Sheds).
arcoTherm® is a connectable multi-skin system specially designed for projects requiring the best thermal and/or acoustic insulation performance.
arcoTherm® is the ideal solution for combining natural light and absolute comfort in buildings, as it is the perfect partner for the thermal regulations 20202012 and the BBC and BEpos certifications.
