La nuova lastra Lexan Thermoclear ultra-resistente, capace di sopportare venti di forte intensità e carichi di neve pesanti tipici della regione, viene utilizzata per costruire la copertura sospesa dell’estensione di 43.000 m2 dello stadio per il campionato di calcio UEFA Euro 2012™ a Silesian (Śląski) Chorzów in Polonia. Questo materiale innovativo spesso 25 mm, con struttura a X e costituito da tre pareti proteggerà fino a 55.200 spettatori dagli agenti atmosferici, ma lasciando al contempo che la luce naturale penetri all’interno dello stadio. A fronte di trent’anni di comprovata esperienza nelle coperture per gli stadi con le lastre Lexan*, SABIC Innovative Plastics continua a fare progressi grazie a materiali all’avanguardia che aiutano gli architetti e i progettisti a migliorare la sicurezza, la durata e il comfort.
