Greenhouse plastic roofing

In commercial greenhouses worldwide, LEXAN sheets provide rigid, lightweight glazing that resists UV degradation, hails and storms and offer long-term light transmission and good flame retardance. Specially designed grades have a unique coating on the inner surface. This coating prevents condensation build-up, which can cause crop spoilage, whilst maintaining excellent light transmission for greenhouse plastic roofing.

LEXAN™ THERMOCLEAR™ Sheet – General Purpose Multiwall

High optical quality multiwall LEXAN THERMOCLEAR™ sheet products with highly specialised properties are often a top choice for your most demanding, long-lasting applications like greenhouses. SABIC’s multiwall polycarbonate material, under the LEXAN THERMOCLEAR™ portfolio, offers many structures, colours, and finishes. This LEXAN THERMOCLEAR™ multiwall polycarbonate sheeting provides:

Outstanding balance of lightweight
High stiffness
Ease of installation
Condensation resistance
Long-term light transmission
Remarkable impact strength

Due to the multiwall construction, the sheets have outstanding thermal insulation properties and are available with 1 or 2 sides of UV protection. This makes it an excellent candidate for greenhouse roofing.

LEXAN™ Corrugated Sheet – General Purpose and Dripgard

SABIC's LEXAN Corrugated sheet offers excellent clarity, weathering performance, and high impact resistance for hail damage protection. The sheets have excellent light transmission and UV protection and are quick and easy to install. LEXAN Corrugated sheets are available in the standard colours for greenhouses: clear, clear textured, opal white, opaque white and are also available with dripgard coating, which is a special drip control coating that prevents loss of light transmission caused by condensation—making this plastic a perfect fit for greenhouses. Dripgard also prevents water droplet formation, which can cause plant diseases and spoilage.
