    Extended driving range, safety and energy efficiency

    Internal combustion vehicles will be abandoned in the coming decades. Alternative forms of energy such as electricity will increasingly be used to power vehicles. For this reason, there is a desire to make vehicles even lighter, and Aikon® high-performance plastics offer excellent glazing solutions for this purpose.

    Windows form large surfaces in a vehicle and they significantly affect the total weight. Aikon® PC Hard is an excellent material to replace heavy glass and utilize the benefits of transparent plastic sheets. Aikon® high-performance plastics are energy-efficient solutions for window glazing as they weigh half the weight of glass.

    Plastics offer many advantages over other materials

    Plastics offer many advantages over other materials and one of their main advantages is lightness. Lightweight materials have essential role for the development of automotive industry. The driving range of a vehicle can be increased by utilizing high performance plastic materials. Polycarbonate is a superior material for glazing solutions as its impact resistance is 200 times higher compared to glass. As hard coated, PC becomes a superior material for vehicle applications.

    Aikon Full Solution

    Aikon state-of-the-art technology enables integrating smart technologies to the glazing solution. For example, shading films provide custom shading as their dimming features allow controlling how much light enters a space, thus creating a comfortable user experience. In addition, the films enable optimizing light to utilize natural light to save energy and increase ambiance, but also shade during peak hours for vehicle cooling and solar control.

    Laminating enables embedding smart technologies

    Integrating smart technologies into windows of electric or lightweight vehicles provide advantages to the vehicle manufacturers. Laminating enables the embedding of shading films, transparent displays or heating systems into windows. The technologies create comfort and positively affect the user experience. 

    Plastic laminating

    Custom shading with smart films

    Dimming solutions can be integrated to high-performance glazing to create dynamic shading and optimize light control. The use of instant shading and solar reflection in vehicle windows eliminates road glare. Vehicle manufacturers gain advantages of smart films, while the solution enables reducing material costs, optimizing space, and saving energy. Smart films are embedded to the windows or sunroof glazing in the laminating process.
