Published Mar 02, 2010

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — March 2, 2010 —Rugby and football enthusiasts at Dublin’s new Aviva Stadium may find their attention focused on the structure instead of the score. The stadium’s transparent, curvilinear walls are constructed from SABIC Innovative Plastics’ tough and virtually unbreakable Lexan* Exell D polycarbonate (PC) sheet, which adds incredible elegance, high performance and environmental benefits. Recognizing the strategic contribution of Lexan sheet technology to the stadium, the European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders (EPSE) honored SABIC Innovative Plastics with its 2009 Best Project and Innovation Award. This is the second EPSE award for SABIC Innovative Plastics. In 2008, the company won the Best Innovation category for the Metro Station Carmes in Toulouse, France – whose roof is also made from Lexan Exell D sheet. SABIC Innovative Plastics continues to invest in new materials like Lexan Exell D sheet to help building and construction customers achieve success.
