Polycarbonate Sheets

GE Plastics offers Polycarbonate Sheet, Lexan SG305-OB. This is specifically designed to boost the visibility and attractiveness of illuminated signage. Lexan SG305-OB sheet, unlike conventional sheet products, offers both uniform light diffusion to eliminate light emitting diode (LED) "pinholes" and a view of light sources, and superior light transmission for exceptional optical brightness at lower energy costs. In fact, the 2 and 5 mm thicknesses of Lexan SG305-OB sheet boost light transmission to more than 50 per cent, vs. competitive materials like polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that allow only about 25 per cent. The new white sheet grade, which has a matte finish on its outward-facing surface to reduce reflections, also provides excellent UV protection as well as the renowned impact resistance of tough, virtually unbreakable Lexan resin. The outstanding aesthetics, performance, and formability of GE"s new Lexan SG305-OB sheet are spurring innovative new lighting solutions, such as the ADDscreen illuminated roll-down security shutters offered by Euroll and ADDscreen, both of The Netherlands. These unique shutters, which protect stores, ticket windows, and other spaces after hours, feature computer-generated advertising that is beamed onto the reverse side. The GE material"s superior optical brightness and diffusion capabilities present the projected graphics with optimal visibility, while its impact resistance enhances security. The product"s easy fabrication enables complex designs.
