durability and rigidity. “The new material impacts this structure by
introducing increased melt strength to enhance performance and allow for raw material and cost savings,” he added. The material offers the same performance as
previous formulations, with improved sustainability. It has been validated by several Trinseo partners – who have reduced the weight of insulation board by around 5%, and carbon emissions by “a corre- sponding amount”.
Light show Exolon recently showcased a number of solid and multi-wall sheets at the Light + Building exhibition in Germany. The use of LED lights puts high demands on homogeneous light diffusion and brightness. Exolon’s DX range of sheet offers designers and lighting specialists the flexibility they need to implement sophisticated lighting concepts. “Even with slim designs, hotspots disappear due to high light transmission and even brightness,” it said. Highly transparent polycarbonate raw materials
– with scattering additives – ensure that the incident light colour remains radiant even when emitted. It is an ideal lighting solution for adjustable cold/ warm white and RGB-coloured LEDs, said Exolon. Optionally extras for the range include: UV-
resistance, for outdoor use – with 10-year weather- resistance warranty; abrasion-resistant version, with a hard coating that increases chemical resistance and protects against scratches and abrasion; and a flame-retardant version designated as TPA – for special building requirements in the UK. Exolon has also addressed the need for glare-
free internal lighting, with its SX Sharp transparent polycarbonate solid sheet. It has a special micro- structure finish applied on one side. Earlier this year, the company also introduced its
Hybrid X product – a multi-wall sheet that has high energy-saving potential in buildings.
