EPSE Award Winners Announced!
For the third year running, the European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders (EPSE, www.epse.org) organised an award competition among its members so as to raise awareness of the benefits of polycarbonate in different application areas.
The award in the Best Project category went to the Centro Comercial Santafe in Medellin, Colombia because of the consistency of use of the polycarbonate throughout the entire project and this on a large scale. The walls and roof of the Centro Comercial comprise lightweight and translucent polycarbonate sheets (8mm Standard Opal and 8mm Spring) that can easily be bent. However, a major challenge for translucent material in hot climates is transferring a high percentage of visible light without transferring heat. A specially developed product was therefore used to filter out unnecessary heat, i.e. ‘near infrared light’, but still transfer a high percentage of visible light. Moreover, the filtering material was inserted into a special layer of the external wall of the polycarbonate sheet, thus increasing the filtration effect.

Press Release - 8mm Polymatte™
Polygal Inc. is pleased to announce our NEW Polymatte™ high diffusion panel for the architectural and commercial greenhouse markets. This unique panel provides 99% diffused light and 76% light transmission and is ideal for optimal plant growth. Plants exposed to direct light (no-diffusion) produce a majority of their food from the top leaves facing the sun. In the greenhouse market Polymatte™ will provide diffused light to all leaves where all the leaves are able to photosynthesize resulting in healthier, fuller plant development. In the architectural market Polymatte™ can be used in place of Opal where high light diffusion is beneficial.
