Hi Manstir,

We understand that Twin-Wall was spoiled by workmanship error. We tried hard to provide a proper installation technique.

As mention by a few user here, It's lower in cost and Best Insulation compares to Solid Polycarbonate.
Furthermore, we will promote 5 wall soon in Malaysia, which reduce even more Heat in this hot weather.

I would suggest you to find an Experience Contractor to do this.
Examples of a good project is Petaling Street and Kota Kemuning, Columbia Hospital

If you need guide, Please PM me or email ( sabic.sfs@gmail.com) , and we will be happy to email you the Installation Method.

SABIC IP ( Previously known as GE Plastics), Specialty Sheet & Film Division has been selling this product since 1968.
Will many Stadiums build around the Globe, Multi-Wall sheet will be the Right Product to Choose.

HI Manstir,

The price is the estimated price for Lexan* Thermoclear Solar Control IR, 10 mm TwinWall
For Clear or Bronze, The Material cost is Slightly Lower.

This is Just the Plastic Material Price Only

Hi Kok Meng,

5-Wall will be available only end of May. As we have just conclude a deal with a new Local Sales Agent in Malaysia

Pricing is targeted to be 10% Higher than Twin Wall due to the Weight.

However, it all depend on the Sales Agent to Strategies the Sales.

I have send the Contacts to your inbox.

Let us know if we can provide you further help.

That is Steel with Glass. The Glass offered would be laminated.
You need to verify it Tempered + Tempered or Sometime they offer Tempered+Float Glass( Lower cost)
Also must get Warranty. Usually They Warrant 6 months.
Spontaneous breaking happen to Glass

You can use our Lexan* Sheet instead of Glass.
10 years Warranty Against Yellowing, Breaking( except from Screw Holes) & Loss of Light Transmission

Cost wise, we guess contractors would be the right person to advise.

With Lexan* 6 mm Exell D Solid Polycarbonate , the Weight is 25% of the Laminated Glass, therefore in theory, the cost may be par due to the structural ( steel) cost.
Available in Clear or Tinted Green(similar to glass tinted green)

SABIC to help build 11 new stadiums with Lexan



Muhammad Al-Mady, CEO of SABIC and deputy chairman of its board, said recently that his organization has agreed with Saudi Aramco to provide them with SABIC products to build 11 new state-of-the-art stadiums in January.

Al-Mady said that SABIC products are renowned internationally for their world-class standards and have been used in about 50 stadiums globally including South Africa in the 2010 World Cup as well as stadiums in Germany and Brazil.
“Our products have also been used in the Olympic Stadium in Sydney, Australia, Barcelona, Spain, and China’s Chongqing, as well as the UEFA European Championship in Portugal in 2004, Switzerland, Austria in 2008, Poland and Ukraine in 2012,” he said.

He added that he hoped that the coordination between SABIC and Aramco would result in the petroleum company’s contractors using their products to build the 11 new stadiums.

Explaining further, Al-Mady said: “SABIC’s products are made of engineered plastic materials, known as polycarbonate, which is a tough and durable plastic popularly used in many of the world’s sport stadiums and golf clubs. The products are transparent, useful for lighting and obscuring dust and often installed in ceilings and walls of stadiums.”

Light-weight with a high rigidity which is 250 times harder than glass, they are less prone to breakage and are shock-resistant. Due to their ability to withstand high temperatures, they provide thermal insulation which reduces the need for cooling systems and also cuts down energy consumption.

“They are efficient, allow natural light, are easy to install in addition to great aesthetic features,” Al-Mady said. He noted that a cooperation between Saudi Aramco and SABIC would be in the interest of the country.

Hi Telur,

We think what you meant is a Composite Panel. They called it ACM

Many Years ago, more than 15 years ago, ACM was imported and use as a skin for Highrise
KLCC is an example in which the wall look like metal and the Quality is very Good
The Outer layer is a Layer of Coating + Pure Aluminium, laminated unto PP (plastic, Good chemical resistance) and unto the walls
This should last very long

Today many local manufacturers are producing it.

The product Blocks 100% Light Transmission, very thin , extremely light.
The U value is very high which mean it transfer Heat easily.

However, note that the tensile strength is very low and if a brick drop into it, it would dented

Hope this help in Your Questions. Do ask about the warranties on
1) Discoloration, coating Failure ( in which it stains Heavily and you can notice many Building has this defect after 1 or 2 years) ,
2)Rusting ( to lower the cost of Aluminium, lately, alloys are added to it, no longer Pure Aluminium)
3)The strength

We are sure as this is consider added value to your home, the asset should last for many many years ahead

Thank you
