6 SABIC Innovative Plastics
X-structures for X-tra stiffness
Lexan Thermoclear X-Structure sheet has a unique
structure. Instead of the traditional rectangular
form, this sheet is made up of diagonal ribs
between the vertical ribs. This increases both
lateral and longitudinal rigidity, which brings
extremely high stiffness to the glazing panel.
The X-structure also enhances thermal insulation,
sound insulation and impact energy absorption. In
practical terms, this means greater hail- and snow-
loading resistance and a reduced ‘drum’ effect.
High quality aesthetics through color
Standard colors of clear, opal white and bronze
are available across the Lexan Thermoclear sheet
range. Non-standard colors are available in certain
gauges. These colors include dark grey, blue, green,
dark blue and opaque white.
Broad design freedom through double-sided UV
protection
Lexan Thermoclear Plus multiwall sheet is the
standard UV-resistant material in the portfolio. UV-
protected on both surfaces, it offers wide design
flexibility as well as important advantages in both
cutting and installation. Unlike with competitive
products, installation mistakes are minimized as
either sheet surface may be faced outwards.
