Exolon Group expands polyester and polycarbonate sheet production.

Petrotahlil - The Exolon Group, based in North Rhine-Westphalia and with production sites in Belgium and Italy, is currently optimising its production of transparent polycarbonate and Vivak polyester sheets.

With its plastic products, the Serafin Group company is helping to slow the spread of Covid-19. 

MD Jens Becker said: "There has been an increase in demand for transparent sheet material that is used for medical protective barriers such as face shields and partitions for the reception area in hospitals or at supermarket checkouts. This has prompted us to adapt our production accordingly … We are proud that our products make a contribution to better protecting employees in systemically relevant professions in this difficult time.”

Transparent, translucent and opaque solid sheets are produced in Belgium and transparent multiwall sheets in Italy, which can also be used as protective partitions and privacy screens in hospital wards.

Becker added: “The situation is a big challenge for everyone involved. The company has a special thanks to all those employees who come to work even in these difficult times to ensure the production of the sheets.”

The company has significantly increased the hygiene measures across its factories, with machine controls disinfected several times a day and disinfectant provided strategically throughout the buildings. All employees are having their temperatures taken on a daily basis. In the current situation, it helps that important issues such as occupational health and safety have been a very high priority in the company for many years.

The Exolon Group specialises in the production of solid and multiwall sheets from high-performance thermoplastic materials and has been operating under this new name since 2020.
