Amsterdam ArenA Stadium Escalators, enclosed in GE’s New Lexan* Solar Control Sheet with Infrared Heat Blocking

The four escalators leading to the ArenA in Amsterdam are enclosed in revolutionary new Lexan* Solar Control IR polycarbonate sheet from GE Advanced Materials, Specialty Film & Sheet. Lexan Solar Control IR polycarbonate sheet helps absorb infrared (IR) and near-IR radiation from the sun, potentially reducing interior heat buildup by up to levels as much as 40 percent. In addition, it can offer up to 60 percent more visible light transmission than other plastic-based IR-absorbent glazing products. The ArenA in Amsterdam represents one of the first commercial applications for Lexan Solar Control IR polycarbonate sheet.
