PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop SilentView is a transparent noise absorbing system consisting of an aluminium frame and a 30° angled transparent PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop sheet. This innovative design allows incoming noise to be reflected upward towards the horizontal noise absorbing part of the element. PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop SilentView is suitable for any noise barrier installation, including highways and high speed railways.
This newly developed system perfectly combines desired transparency with the absorbing properties of a non-transparent noise protection element. PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop SilentView is the only element worldwide which also complies with the new acoustic standards outlined in EN 1793-5 and EN 1793-6 “Road Traffic Noise reducing devices – test method for determining the acoustic performance using in situ values of sound reflection (1793-5) and airborne sound insulation (1793-6) under direct sound field conditions.”
While focused on new Noise Barrier installations, PLEXIGLAS® Soundstop SilentView is ideal for replacing old, unsightly, or defective elements quite easily. The existing infrastructure can be re-used without additional construction costs.
In December 2022, Röhm, supported by the private equity firm Advent International, agreed to acquire SABIC's Functional Forms business unit, which specializes in polycarbonate-based films and sheets sold under the LEXAN™ brand.
This strategic move aimed to enhance Röhm's position in the transparent films and sheets market by combining SABIC's polycarbonate products with Röhm's existing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) offerings, known under the PLEXIGLAS® (ACRYLITE® in the Americas) brand.
By November 2023, Röhm and SABIC announced plans to merge Röhm's Acrylic Products and SABIC's Functional Forms business units into a new entity named Polyvantis.
This new company, POLYVANTIS, aims to become a leading supplier of film and sheet products, serving various industries such as building and construction, transportation and aviation, electrical and electronics, automotive, and home and garden. Polyvantis is expected to have approximately 1,500 employees and operate 16 production sites across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
