PITTSFIELD, Mass. — May 25, 2010 — SABIC Innovative Plastics’ commitment to helping builders and architects strengthen sustainable building designs by increasing energy conservation, all while improving working and living environments has led to another industry game-changer – new 1000 mm-width Lexan* Thermoclick* polycarbonate (PC) 50 mm sheet system. This new high-tech material greatly facilitates installation ease, while also providing customers with superior high-performance, energy efficiency and excellent high-end aesthetics. Twice the width of competitive products, the new 50 mm gauge, Lexan Thermoclick sheet is virtually unbreakable and delivers a thermal insulation U-value that can reduce energy consumption up to 17 percent vs. traditional high-return, double-pane glass glazing. This outstanding new interconnecting sheet system has recently been selected by Hakvoort daglicht B.V., a daylight production and construction company based in the Netherlands, for cladding and façade.
