 CO-EX Corporation Introduces
4-wall 8mm and 10mm sheets
New Macrolux 8mm 4-wall products will protect your greenhouse investment and save up to 12% on your yearly energy bill. With its multi-layered construction, it is able to achieve impressive thermal performance. The manufacturing of 8mm thick polycarbonate multiwall with 4-walls is a unique specialty that requires precision equipment and capable craftsmen. CO-EX gained the experience in developing this product when they worked with high efficiency greenhouse applications in the Netherlands.
Perhaps most importantly, US growers will now be able to take advantage of the drammatically higher insulation of a 4-wall and still utilize a structure built for the standard 8mm 2-wall sheet. Your cost increase for the improved sheet and its installation will be minimal when compared with the energy savings achieved in the vastly improved thermal sheet.
As an added bonus, the improved energy efficiency will allow for a more productive greenhouse. The grower may gain an extra week of growing time in their overall season, depending on the crop.
The higher energy efficiency of the 8mm 4-wall will enable our clients in colder climates, to save in their energy costs. CO-EX has the right answer for any climate !

CO-EX introduces Rooflite NewGen
Less Yellowing and Better Performance
Rooflite® NEWGEN features an advanced surface layer which is co-extruded during the manufacturing process. It significantly reduces sheet degradation over time compared to standard polycarbonate products. This translates directly into less yellowing, improved light transmission and better mechanical properties over time. This new layer has added durability to an already strong product.
CO-EX’s manager, Erik Verhoeff, explained “the improved light transmission in Rooflite® NEWGEN contributes to enhanced greenhouse productivity and maximizing the value for growers.
As with all CO-EX products, Rooflite® NEWGEN also blocks the penetration of harmful UV rays. This translates to optimal growing light for your crops and house plants. This UV protection also creates a protected bright environment for people and animals. It will not fade interiors nor burn precious seedlings.
As a grower, the quality of light is a key factor in choosing a greenhouse covering, and Rooflite® NEWGEN delivers superior solar energy performance. Standard flat glazing reflects solar light and energy, particularly when the sun is at a steep angle in the early morning and late afternoon. Rooflite® NEWGEN's profiles are engineered to capture angled light for increased solar heat gain during colder winter months to save energy costs in greenhouses and other structures.
All the features of CO-EX’s standard Rooflite® product are also available in their Rooflite® NEWGEN. A factory applied condensation control can be ordered. It reduces surface tension, which allows water to spread into a thin sheet that easily evaporates rather than forming into damaging droplets. It is suitable for use in all climates and is appropriate for use in temperatures from -40°F to 250°F. The widths stocked will be 4 and 6 ft.
CO-EX has continued to develop unique products and applications for polycarbonate worldwide. For more information, please contact Erik K. Verhoeff (everhoeff@co-excorp.com)

ONDALITE MULTI-WALL ROOFING PANEL
iNTRODUCED by CO-EX
CO-EX Corporation announces the introduction of a new multi-wall polycarbonate roofing panel product called Ondalite. The panel is produced in both 3 mm twin wall and 6 mm triple wall sheet which incorporate a pre-shaped waved structure. Ondalite has been developed to be used for covering in industrial buildings, in vertical wall panels and in street shelters. Applications for Ondalite include: curved skylights, roof coverings in gutter and ridge areas and any daylighting application requiring a natural lighting element.
Ondalite has an optimal combination of properties such as: high load bearing capacity, excellent thermal insulation, high light transmission and outdoor weatherability characteristics with a 10 year warranty against UV attack. Very easy to install, Ondalite can be overlapped lengthwise to obtain large lighting surfaces. The channels of the panel are heat sealed at the ends. This process will preserve the aesthetic look of the sheet by keeping outside impurities out. Ondalite is a strong and bright way to bring your ideas to completion.

VEGA and POLARIS 30 mm THICK ROOFING PANEL FOR INDUSTRIAL METAL ROOFING
Vega Panels are a high performance glazing material for use with metal industrial roofs and with metal roofing sandwich panels. Vega is a multi-wall polycarbonate cellular panel system that lets in the natural illumination with its great light transmission (52% in clear and 35% in Opal). Combine that natural light with a high insulation value of R- 3.57 (U value .28), for an ideal product to use in daylighting applications for industrial roofing. Lightweight (.741 lbs/sq ft) yet strong and tough Vega provides 100 times the impact strength of glass. The product is 30 mm thick and has an “extruded in” flange that will match up to most metal roof profiles for ease of installation.
Polaris is a similar panel to the Vega with the exception of a partial “extruded in” flange that can be matched up with a wider array of metal roofing profiles.

CO-EX Corporation is Making Waves
with Polisnake
POLISNAKE is a new and exclusive style of multi-walled sheet from CO-EX Corporation. Utilizing years of expertise in the polycarbonate extrusion industry, POLITEC engineers developed the technique necessary to configure the undulating channels which form the polisnake panel. POLISNAKE sheets feature all the terrific properties you expect from a premier, state-of-the-art provider of polycarbonate panels - high load resistance – minimal weight — excellent light transmission and more. Aesthetically speaking, these panels offer the architect a noteworthy approach to design solutions, with a distinctive wave-look available only with Polisnake.
Compared with sheets of the same weight and thickness, the POLISNAKE structured sheet allows for an increase in loading of up to 60%. Due to unique reflection and refraction characteristics of the Polisnake sheeting, light transmission does not decrease, but actually intensifies. When it comes to energy savings, Polisnake excels. Each distinctive channel traps air, creating an excellent thermal barrier from the exterior side of the sheet to the interior side.
