ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are storm panels and methods for manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, the storm panel comprises a polymeric sheet having an arced geometry. The polymeric sheet comprises, a polymeric substrate layer, a polymeric top layer comprising an ultraviolet light stabilizer, a polymeric bottom layer comprising an ultraviolet light stabilizer. The storm panel has a uniform thickness, exhibits less than or equal to about 4.0% haze, and exhibits a yellowness index shift that is less than or equal to about 9.0 after 1,500 simulated hours of aging.
