GE Plastics’ New Lexan* Constant Clear Freezer Film Helps Retailers Save on Energy Costs
BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — April 16, 2007 — GE Plastics has expanded its ecomagination* product portfolio with a new patent-pending, high-performance Lexan* polycarbonate (PC) film that can prevent condensation on the doors of refrigerated and frozen food glass door cases without the need to heat the glass. Crystal-clear Lexan Constant Clear film, featuring a proprietary anti-fog coating, adheres to glass doors to help prevent formation of condensation when the cases are opened by shoppers. Not only does Lexan Constant Clear film enhance the shopping experience by preventing fogging that can obscure product offerings, but it also delivers significant energy savings. By avoiding the need to heat glass doors, reducing the frequency of door openings to view products, lowering compressor loads required to compensate for heated doors - and based on the national average energy cost of $0.0942/KW-hr (according to www.eia.doe.gov) - this new film can save up to $90 per door, per year on ice cream and low temperature doors and $30 per door, per year on medium temperature doors.
