Lexan* Thermoclear* Solar Control IR
With new 5 Star Energy Ratings calling for optimal efficiency, architects are
increasingly seeking to maximise natural light, whilst maintaining aesthetics
and reducing lighting costs. Intensive use of glazing however, can result in
excessive heat build-up, resulting in increased energy costs associated with
cooling the building.
GE Advanced Materials new Solar Control IR Sheet represents an entirely new
technology in the challenge for energy efficiency. Proprietary resin additives
are used to block near-infrared heat, whilst maintaining high light transmission
levels. Studies have shown that this can result in energy savings of 25-40% in a
temperature controlled environment!
Lexan* Solar Control IR sheeting is available in both the multiwall Thermoclear*
range, or as monolithic sheeting. The sheeting is also available in green, blue
or grey tints.
The new Direct Factory Outlets development at Essendon Airport, Melbourne has
become the first building in Australia to use Solar Control IR Sheet. It
incorporates approximately 550m2 of blue Lexan* Thermoclear Solar Control IR
sheet in 16mm 3X profile!
Lexan* Thermoclick
Imagine a completely translucent wall with no vertical glazing bars! Lexan*
Thermoclick sheet systems are made up of 40mm, UV protected, multiwall sheet
panels with a profiled tongue and groove connection. The inter-connecting system
eliminates the need for vertical profiles, thereby saving costs and enhancing
aesthetics! The X-Structure of the sheet provides exceptional stiffness and
thermal insulation.
*Ideal for wall facades
*Easy installation
*Exceptional thermal insulation
*Superior stiffness and strength based on 40mm x-structure sheet
*Hammered Glass finish for excellent light diffusion
*9 different colours available
Lexan* Thermoclick sheet has been used for the first time in Australia at
Boroondara Sports and
Aquatic Centre, in conjunction with Ampelite’s Clearslide system. Unlike the
standard wall façade application, this project has seen Lexan Thermoclick being
used as 36m “join-free” translucent ceiling strips!
Ampelite now stock Lexan Thermoclick in clear and opal colour. Other colours are
available subject to order quantities. Please contact your nearest Ampelite
office for further information.

Lexan* Thermopanel / Thermoroof
In addition to the extensive range of polyester sheeting and systems such as
Dual Roof and Clearslide, Ampelite can supply a range of insulated multiwall
panels that can be used in conjunction with metal sandwich panel sheeting. Lexan*
Thermoroof and Thermopanel sheeting provides excellent thermal insulation, high
stiffness and high light transmission for use in temperature controlled
environments.
Lexan* Thermoclear Easy Clean
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.
Lexan* Thermoclear SunXP
In addition to the inherent properties of the Lexan* Thermoclear Plus range,
Lexan* Thermoclear SunXP offers UV protection as standard on both sides, but
with even higher resistance to UV radiation, yellowing and loss of light
transmission. This represents a revolutionary development in the use of plastic
sheeting in Australia’s harsh environment. For more information on the benefits
of GE’s patented surface coating technology, click here.
Lexan* Thermoclear Dripgard
This innovative product is suitable for any roof glazing application in which
water droplets are unacceptable, such as commercial greenhouses or sensitive
food preparation areas.
Lexan* Thermoclear Dripgard 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.
Lexan* Thermoclear Hammered Glass
In this unique material, the addition of glass fibres into the sheet provides an
original “hammered glass” effect. In addition to the innovative look, it
provides UV protection on both sides, high light transmission and good
insulation properties. Typical applications include interior partition walls,
swimming pool enclosures and bathroom glazing.
Lexan* Thermoclear Venetian Screen Print
Lexan* Thermoclear Venetian sheets are UV-protected on the outer surface and
screen-printed with stripes or a honeycomb pattern on the inner surface. The
screen-printed sheet provides excellent aesthetics, together with a shadow
effect. This helps to reduce heat build-up from solar radiation, resulting in an
improved comfort level inside the structure or underneath the structure.
For viable quantities, a custom screen-printed pattern can be applied to the
sheet during manufacture. For smaller quantities, a standard clear or tinted
sheet can be screen-printed locally. Please contact your nearest Ampelite office
for details.
