Bayer Sheet Europe protects the environment with the alveolar plates Makrolon, ahorradoras of energy

Build environmental awareness

The firm bayer sheet europe has made a valuable contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions in recent years through its alveolar, -saving plates of energy of the i-Line product line. The plates alveolar Makrolon sextuple multi UV are particularly preferred by the builders mindful of saving energy. Since its introduction in the market, almost two million square meters of roofs have been covered with this iron throughout Europe.

Through the development of the alveolar Makrolon sheet line i-Line, since 2003, it has been reduced in Europe the emission of greenhouse gases in about 65,000 tonnes, with regard to the standard products. This corresponds to several million square metres of roof. About half of the range of these plates alveolar has less than three years in the market. This development responds totally innovative strength in terms of market and customers.

Especially, the plates alveolar sextuple Makrolon multi UV (6/16 - 20 and 6/20 - 20) have been developed in a short time as strong competitors in the market. Since its introduction in the market, in the middle of 2003, almost two million square meters of roofs throughout Europe have been covered with the plates alveolar sextuple. "Precisely, in 2007 there has been a new momentum to sales, due to a new explosion of the energy costs", points satisfied Günther Winnerl, Manager of the segment construction on Bayer Sheet Europe, in Darmstadt, Germany.

Energy-saving

Constructors, planners and architects, both private and industrial, valued the plates, in addition to its light weight and his excellent performance during the folding cold, especially for its excellent thermal insulation property. This product offers energy savings of up to 25 percent in comparison with the standard plates of similar thickness. This corresponds to an annual saving of approximately five litres of fuel for heating or 5.5 cubic meters of natural gas per square meter.

Due to the strong demand for geometries of alveolar plates, for the construction with energy awareness, the new plates Makrolon multi UV 4/10 - 6 and 4/8 - 6, released in 2005 and 2007 respectively, have occupied a prominent place in regard to energy saving. The plates alveolar quadruple of polycarbonate with its unique structure in "And" convinced users, its low thickness, both by its outstanding thermal insulation property.

The product portfolio has been rounded to the structure of iron 5 X in thicknesses of material of 25, 32 and 40 mm for private buildings, as well as the translucent, extremely repellent versions of heat of the IQ-Relax family. These, in comparison with the standard commercial plates, decrease the passage of heat to the interior of the enclosure, with regard to the level of total transmission of energy by up to 50 percent, without varying the incidence of the light.
