Light Transmission
Through its excellent UV protection Tuftak XL will maintain these values over an extended period of time even when exposed to direct sunlight.

Accelerated Xenon tests run on Tuftak XL for 5000 hours (corresponding to more than 10 years of outdoor exposure) show a very small changing of light transmission and yellowness index, (Tuffak XL weathering characteristic graphs)
