Solid Polyester Sheet

LUMEX® and HIPEX® brands offer a wide selection of transparent and translucent A-PET and PET-G thermoplastic polyester sheets. These sheets are classified as 'difficult-to-ignite', provide very high impact strength, easy formability, excellent printability and good resistance to chemicals. In addition, the UV protection versions offer good resistance to weathering.

LUMEX® A and HIPEX® A are premium quality amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (A-PET) sheets and are the best choice for flat applications. They show good printability with UV curing inks and are flame retardant rated ”difficult-to-ignite” (Fire behavior according to EN 13501-1: B-s1, d0) as well as suitable for food applications. Moreover, LUMEX® A and HIPEX® A are extremely impact resistant also at temperatures down to -20°C and show good outdoor durability in the variant with UV protection. LUMEX® A and HIPEX® A sheets offer a unique combination of excellent properties and are well suited for e.g. flexible poster covers, printed, translucent signs, small to medium sized displays, Slatwall magazine racks as well as for cold food storage elements.

LUMEX® G and HIPEX® G are extruded polyethylene terephthalate glycol modified (PET-G) sheets, which are characterized by good optical properties, easy processability and very good impact resistance. Moreover, the sheets are flame retardant rated ”difficult-to-ignite” (Fire behavior according to EN 13501-1: B-s1, d0), are suitable for food applications and can be printed with UV curing inks.

Especially for applications in the field of vacuum forming and thermoforming, LUMEX® G and HIPEX® G sheets are the best choice as they do not crystallize and can be processed without pre-drying (time and energy saving). Thanks to its easy formability, the material offers designers and fabricators various possibilities, from simple shapes to complex constructions. The sheets are available with or without UV protection and in addition to the clear and opal white versions also in a variety of colours and design patterns.
