How Are New Trends Expected To Influence The Growth Of The Polycarbonate Sheets Market?
Leading firms in the polycarbonate sheets industry are concentrating on creating multiwall polycarbonate sheets to improve thermal insulation, boost durability, and offer energy-efficient solutions for a range of construction and industry uses. The term multiwall polycarbonate sheet pertains to a kind of polycarbonate substance that features several layers or walls with air voids in the middle, forming a structured layout. For instance, Exolon Group GmbH, a plastic fabrication company situated in Germany, unveiled the Exolon multi UV Hybrid X, a multiwall polycarbonate sheet, in January 2022. This Hybrid X model allows for light transmission up to 45%, offering diffused, natural light while reducing glare and disjunction. It has a low heat transfer coefficient (Ug) of 0.85 W/m²K, resulting in energy savings of over 30% in comparison to standard polycarbonate sheets. This efficiency can be converted into substantial savings on heating expenses, approximated to be around three liters of heating oil or 2.5 cubic meters of natural gas per square meter per year.
