Overview:
With decades of experience, SABIC Innovative Plastics, formerly GE Plastics, has the broadest material portfolio in the building and constructions industry and unparalleled industry expertise in helping architects and builders realize the next breakthrough solution to meet their demanding application requirements. SABIC Innovative Plastics, Specialty Film and Sheet, provides a wide range of materials that combine the aesthetic appeal of glass with value-added performance. Based on Lexan* polycarbonate resin, one of the most versatile materials in the world, these high performance materials are characterized by high impact strength, an excellent balance of low weight and high stiffness, impact and fire resistant, weatherability and naturally “crystal-clear” transparency and design freedom. SABIC Innovative Plastics products can be used to help deliver creative, easy-to-install glazing that is built to last. Many products are covered by a minimum 10-year limited written warranty against excessive yellowing, loss of light transmission and loss of strength due to weathering.
SABIC Innovative Plastics’ versatile range of high technology, Lexan sheet, monolithic and multiwall products help provide exceptional design freedom due to their light weight, ability to be formed and offer different colors, prints, textures, special effects and coatings like superior weatherability, self-cleaning, and anti-drip.
Common applications include building cladding and facades, architectural interiors, residential glazing and conservatories, swimming pool covers, stadium roof glazing and arena applications, transportation infrastructure, sound walls, industrial glazing, greenhouses and security glazing.
The vast technical resources of SABIC Innovative Plastics make it easy for construction
professionals to obtain the support, customized products and design assistance need to
help complete projects on time and meet stringent specifications.

First self-cleaning polycarbonate sheet. UV protected on both sides, and features a unique hydrophobic coating on the outside surface that reduces the surface tension of polycarbonate and increases the contact angle of water to the sheet. This causes larger droplets to form and wash away dirt, leaving the sheet almost spotless. Furthermore, it stays clean for longer, thereby reducing the frequency and the associated coast of cleaning.

|
|
An excellent candidate for roof glazing application in which water droplets are unacceptable, such as commercial greenhouses where they could cause crop spoilage. Has UV protection on the outer surface and a specially developed hydrophilic coating on the inner surface. This coating reduces the formation of condensation droplets by increasing the surface tension of the sheet and decreasing the contact angle. As a consequence, a thin mist of water will form on the inner surface of the sheet, which will not drip and will not affect the excellent light transmission of the material.

UV-protected on the outer surface and screen-printed with white stripes on the inner surface. Although the screen-printed white stripes are mainly intended for decorative purposed, they also provide a shadow effect. This helps to reduce heat build-u from solar radiation, resulting in an improved comfort level inside the building.

The addition of fine metallic pigment into the multiwall sheet provides both a completely new look and acts as a heat blocker by reflecting heat. It also cuts down the brightness of the sun to a pleasant level. This material maintains the standard level of mechanical properties.

In this unique material, the addition of glass fibers into the sheet provides an original “hammered glass” effect. In addition to the innovative look, it provides UV protection on both sides, high light transmission and good insulation properties. Typical applications include interior partition walls, swimming pool enclosures and bathroom glazing.

|
|
|
|
Transparent Lexan Solar control sheet helps to block near infrared heat, but lets in high levels of light, helping save energy costs for cooling and lighting buildings. Solar control properties are permanent. 10-year limited written warranty against reduction of light or solar transmission properties, yellowing and breakage due to hail impact. Can be cold-formed and therefore it is an excellent candidate for a broad range of glazing applications including roof domes, skylights and walkways.
