(SABIC) -- At the VDI conference
SABIC Innovative Plastics has announced compelling new findings on the benefits
of Lexan polycarbonate (PC) glazing. Lexan PC automotive glazing has already
established itself as a weight reducing technology that can result in lower fuel
consumption and lower carbon dioxide emissions. Now, advanced computer analyses
of the thermal insulation benefits of Lexan PC automotive glazing have
quantified the material’s potential to reduce the load on heating, ventilation
and air conditioning (HVAC) systems based on the significantly lower thermal
conductivity of PC vs. glass. The new findings underscore the value of using
Lexan PC glazing to help drive improved efficiency for conventional, hybrid and
electric vehicles. The findings come from the research and development team of
Exatec, LLC, SABIC Innovative Plastics’ dedicated automotive glazing
subsidiary.
