Plastics And Polymers

摘要

The cost of heating and cooling is causing builders to look for ways to increase the energy efficiency of homes and commercial buildings. A traditional route is installing multi-pane glass windows. However, besides being heavy, breakable and challenging to install, glass is falling behind in the drive for higher insulation values.rnTo address these drawbacks, Sabic Innovative Plastics, part of the Saudi Basic Industries Corp, has developed a nine-wall Lexan Thermoclear sheet as an excellent candidate for applications such as flat glazing of sunrooms and conservatories, and rooflights, shopping centres, office buildings and factories.rnThis material can not only help customers reduce heating and cooling costs, but also cut energy usage and CO_2 emissions to benefit the environment. The high-performance Lexan Thermoclear sheet products give the building and construction industry new ways to meet demands for increased energy efficiency in living and working environments.
