Makroform: 6-layer polycarbonate sheet in new widths
In the second half of 2003, the new Makrolon® multi longlife 6-layer polycarbonate sheet will also be available as 980 and 1200 millimetre-wide sheet. Makroform offers the additional widths to respond to the high demand for the new, highly heat-insulating sheet. The sheet entered the market in January 2003 in a standard width of 2100 millimetres. As in the standard width, the new sheet widths will be available in a thickness of 16 and 20 millimetres in transparent and opal white.
Users of the 6-layer polycarbonate sheet particularly value its outstanding heat insulation, high cold-bending radius, and extremely high impact resistance. Compared to standard sheet of the same thickness, the new Makrolon® multi longlife 6-layer polycarbonate sheet is a clear energy saver, as it helps to save up to 25 % energy – this corresponds to 5 litres heating oil per square meter per year, or 5.5 cubic meters natural gas per square meter annually. High sales illustrate that the new sheet offers a great value for money.
Thanks to their light weight, the sheets can be easily installed even on large surfaces and light substructures - a factor that has a significant impact on the construction cost. Its high cold-bending radius lends the sheet to special designs, such as cupolas. As all Makroform products with longlife coating, the new polycarbonate sheets boost absolute weather resistance. The 6-layer sheet is particularly recommended for roofing of residential and industrial buildings.
