Darmstadt, November 30, 2007. In recent years Bayer Sheet Europe contributed significantly to the reduction of CO2 emissions with the energy-saving, multi-wall sheets of its i-line products. Especially popular among energy-conserving building contractors are the Makrolon® multi UV 6-wall sheets. Beginning with these Makrolon® sheet market introduction in Europe some three years ago, about two million square meters of roofing surfaces have been covered.

When compared to standard products, the use of the i-line Makrolon®- wall sheets since 2003 has reduced European emissions of the green house gas carbon dioxide by roughly 65,000 tons, which corresponds to several million square meters of roofing surface.  About half of the current offering of Makrolon® wall sheets is less than three years old. This innovation serves the interest of both the market and the customers.
 
Makrolon®  multi UV 6-wall sheets (6/16-20 und 6/20-20) have become a hit in a very  brief time. ”Following their market introduction in Europe in mid-2003, close to two million square meters of roofing surface were covered with the multi six-wall sheets. Following a further explosion of energy costs, we had an additional increase in sales in 2007,” says Günther Winnerl, Segment Manager Building with Bayer Sheet Europe, Darmstadt, Germany. Builders, planners, and architects from the private and industrial construction sectors above all appreciate the heat-reduction properties of the multi six-wall sheets, in addition to their low weight and excellent flexibility. In contrast to standard sheets of the same thickness, this product results in energy savings of up to 25 percent. This savings corresponds to roughly five liters of heating oil, or 5.5 cubic meters of heating gas (gaseous) per square meter per annum. 

 

Because of the strong demand for wall sheet products for energy-saving construction, the new  Makrolon®  multi UV multi-four 4/10-6 and 4/8-6 also command top billing as energy conservers. The uniquely Y-shaped multi-four Polycarbonate wall sheets win users over with their thinness and outstanding heat-resistant properties. 

The product portfolio is rounded out with the 5X structural sheet in thicknesses of 25mm, 32mm and 40mm available for private construction, as well as translucent, heat-resistant versions of the IQ-Relax family. Compared to commercially available standard sheets, they reduce heat levels in the interiors by up to 50 percent (relative to the total degree of energy penetration), while still maintaining the same level of high exposure to light.

Bayer Sheet Europe’s “i-line“ product line represents a mark of quality for a new generation of high-value quality products that demonstrate innovative and intelligent solutions to meet the highest challenges in construction.
