SABIC innovative plastics help lock in future of green building design

摘要

At the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Expo held recently, SABIC Innovative Plastics was seen spotlighting its robust, fast-growing portfolio of Lexan* Thermoclear* polycarbonate (PC) sheet systems, which are driving sustainable building designs through energy conservation and improved working/living environments. These lightweight, flame-retardant materials, available in monolithic and multiwall configurations, are used worldwide for roofing, cladding and glazing massive stadiums, hotels, and other impressive structures. SABIC Innovative Plastics' Lexan Thermoclear sheet products can help architects and designers succeed in the lucrative green building space and have potential to contribute to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by providing natural light, optimizing energy performance, and utilizing recycled content.
