NEW GE LEXAN® SOLAR CONTROL PRODUCTS LIMIT HEAT YET LET IN HIGH LEVELS OF LIGHT
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands — GE Advanced Materials today introduced two new families of transparent, solar-control glazing products in solid sheet and multi-wall polycarbonate sheet that significantly reduce solar transmission while simultaneously offering high levels of light transmission, helping save energy costs for cooling and lighting buildings. The solid product is called LEXAN® EXELL® Solar Control IR sheet, and the multi-wall product is called LEXAN THERMOCLEAR® Solar Control IR sheet. Both products are excellent candidates for roof domes, skylights, walkways, conservatories, and other building applications where it is desirable to admit high levels of light while keeping excess heat to a minimum. Additionally, the solid product is aimed at public transportation applications, such as train and bus glazing. No other thermal-management, polymer-based glazing provides both the level of effectiveness in blocking (absorbing) infrared (IR) heat and high transparency to visible light as these new GE materials.
