Question from Sally Reinburg
We have heard that there is an off gas to this, we want to use it for a large greenhouse-passive solar heat system for a new home. What do you know??
Debra’s Answer
My understanding about polycarbonate is that it leaches bisphenol-A into food or water with which it has contact. I haven’t heard that there are problems with it outgassing.
The rule of thumb is: the harder the plastic, the less it outgasses into the air. So logic would say that it would outgas very little. However, if it is in the sun, the warmth of the sun would cause it to outgas. But the result of that would be it would then be outgassed and would no longer outgas,
Readers, anyone with experience with a polycarbonate greenhouse?
