Superior weatherability
Lexan* Thermoclear* SunXP sheet
In addition to the inherent properties of the Lexan
Thermoclear range, this range of products offers
UV protection on both sides, but with even higher
resistance to UV radiation, yellowing and loss
of light transmission. This exceptional material
is awarded a unique 15 years limited written
warranty.
Self-cleaning
Lexan Thermoclear Easy Clean sheet
This is the world’s first self-cleaning polycarbonate
sheet. UV protected on both sides, Lexan
Thermoclear Easy Clean sheet features a unique
hydrophobic coating on the outside surface that
reduces the surface tension of polycarbonate
and increases the contact angle of water to the
sheet. This causes larger droplets to form and
wash away dirt, leaving the sheet almost spotless.
Furthermore, it stays clean for longer, thereby
reducing the frequency and the associated cost of
cleaning.
Anti-drip
Lexan Thermoclear Dripgard
®
sheet
Lexan Thermoclear Dripgard sheet is suitable for
any roof glazing application in which water droplets
are unacceptable, such as commercial greenhouses
where they could cause crop spoilage.
This innovative product has UV protection on
the outer surface and a specially developed
hydrophilic coating on the inner surface. This
coating reduces the formation of condensation
droplets by increasing the surface tension of the
sheet and decreasing the contact angle. As a
consequence, a thin mist of water will form on the
inner surface of the sheet, which will not drip and
will not affect the excellent light transmission of
the material.
