PLEXIGLAS® Applications

The legal foundations for transparent noise-control material are ZTV-Lsw 88, “Additional Technical Specifications and Guidelines for Building Noise Barriers along Roads”, issued by the German Federal Ministry of Transport, and European Standards EN 1793 Parts 1-3 and EN 1794 Parts 1-2 entitled “Road traffic noise-reducing devices”.

PLEXIGLAS SOUNDSTOP^® and PLEXIGLAS SOUNDSTOP^® GS CC with integrated sliver retention meet these requirements. Transparent noise barriers made of PLEXIGLAS SOUNDSTOP^® are

- highly transparent and clear 
- extremely resistant to weathering and aging 
- easy to form and machine 
- lightweight
- and come with a 10-year guarantee
- as well as being recyclable, 
- colorless and available in seven transparent colors

PLEXIGLAS^® GS and XT are suitable as the protective shield material above the dasher boards from a material thickness of 12 mm. The tests for hockey puck resistance were conducted by the Materials Testing Institute in Stuttgart and are certified in test certificate No. 55150/900 9834-2. PLEXIGLAS^® GS and XT with a scratch-resistant coating further enhance this functionality.

PLEXIGLAS HEATSTOP^® solid and multi-skin sheets meet this requirement in the ideal manner. PLEXIGLAS HEATSTOP^® is an infrared-reflecting grade of PLEXIGLAS^®. Depending on the version, this sheet is equipped with a coextruded layer or colored in the mass. This functional layer contains special pearl-gloss pigments that are free from heavy metals.

Like PLEXIGLAS HEATSTOP^®, PLEXIGLAS^® XT can be cold-curved and thermoformed.

In incident light, PLEXIGLAS HEATSTOP^® has a reddish-purple sheen, and a greenish sheen in transmitted light. This color has an iridescent effect. The color impression differs according to the viewing angle and lighting conditions.

The HEATSTOP effect is achieved by reflecting a large portion of incident sunlight, especially in the infrared spectrum. This has very little effect on the high light transmission, however. Heat buildup indoors is therefore significantly reduced without a noticeable loss in brightness.

Summing up, this translates as a reduction in air conditioning costs and makes it more pleasant to be in rooms glazed with PLEXIGLAS HEATSTOP^® sheets.
