Storm panels and methods for manufacturing the same

1. A storm panel, comprising:

a polymeric sheet having an arced geometry with an amplitude of greater than or equal to about 1.27 cm, the polymeric sheet comprising

a polymeric substrate layer having a top surface and a bottom surface;

a polymeric top layer disposed adjacent to the top surface, wherein the top layer comprises a top layer ultraviolet light stabilizer;

a polymeric bottom layer disposed adjacent to the bottom surface, wherein the bottom layer comprises a bottom layer ultraviolet light stabilizer;

wherein the storm panel has a uniform thickness;

wherein the storm panel exhibits less than or equal to about 4.0% haze as tested via ASTM-D1003-00; and,

wherein the storm panel exhibits a yellowness index shift that is less than or equal to about 9.0 after 1,500 simulated hours of aging at an irradiance of 0.55 W/m 2/ nm and 60° C., as measured via ASTM D1925-70.

2. The storm panel of claim 1 , wherein the panel thickness is within about +20% of the sheet thickness.

3. The storm panel of claim 2 , wherein the panel thickness is within about +10% of the sheet thickness.

4. The storm panel of claim 1 , wherein the yellowness index shift is less than or equal to about 7.0.

5. The storm panel of claim 4 , wherein the yellowness index shift is less than or equal to about 5.0.

6. The storm panel of claim 1 , wherein a change in thickness across the storm panel is less than or equal to about 20%.

7. The storm panel of claim 1 , wherein the amplitude is greater than or equal to about 2.54 cm.

8. The storm panel of claim 1 , further comprising a masking film.

9. The storm panel of claim 4 , wherein the yellowness index is less than or equal to about 4.5.
