Dear Madam, dear Sir,
Makrolon® solid and multi wall sheets in creative applications! This is one of the topics in our first newsletter of 2010. Perhaps you will feel inspired by the use of printed Makrolon® multi wall sheets in the Post-Oil City exhibition or by our tip on film coatings for Vivak®, Axpet® and Makrolon® sheets. Whichever option you select, your final product will always be eye-catching at every trade show or exhibition.
Another innovation is the latest addition to the multi-wall sheet family which has been christened Makrolon® Ambient. The sheet with the comfort factor guarantee and a Ug value of < 1.0 W/m²K is ideal for conservatory roofs as well as low energy "passive houses".
Great events are looming on the horizon. The Football World Cup will be one of the great sporting events of the year. We will be cheering the teams on and quite a few spectators will be wishing they were under such good cover as in the BayArena or the Weser Stadium in Bremen. Both stadiums are unusual in their own way: one resembles a discus seen from above while the other is currently the only sports area in Europe which has a photo-voltaic installation for eco-friendly power generation integrated in the building design. Bayer Sheet Europe was involved in both projects with its Makrolon® sheets; in Bremen the results were so good that this won us the coveted EPSE Award.
However, before I reveal too much in advance, simply read for yourself about the latest news from the world of plastic sheeting.
We hope you enjoy reading this newsletter.

Weser Stadium in Bremen merges design and ecology
The virtuous versatility of the Makrolon® sheets from Bayer Sheet Europe was impressively demonstrated once more in the renovation of the Weser Stadium in Bremen, Germany. The building has set new standards for sports, architecture, and energy technology. It is the only sports venue in Germany that integrates a photovoltaic installation into the building design in order to generate energy in an environmentally friendly way. The roofing made of Makrolon®, the polycarbonate from Bayer MaterialScience, fits harmoniously into the roof design. In a few weeks, the second construction phase will start, creating an additional 770 m2 of roof with the transparent Makrolon® photovoltaic (PV) modules (manufactured by Sunovation GmbH in Elsenfeld, Germany).
