BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 4 gennaio 2011 – SABIC Innovative Plastics ha annunciato che il suo portafoglio di lastre multiparete in policarbonato (PC) Lexan* Thermoclear* ha raggiunto un altro obiettivo vincente: al suo già impressionante elenco di oltre 50 applicazioni in stadi sportivi a livello internazionale si è aggiunto un nuovo pezzo forte. 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.

Muttenz, December 20, 2010 - The mood of fashion is changing: there is a feeling of greater optimism and the color forecasters are seeing the seasonal warmth, enthusiasm and clarity of spring and summer as major influences on the new color palette and fashion trends for 2012. Interpreting fashion themes into reality is always a challenge, often made more difficult when applied to such a unique and varied substrate as leather.
