A polymer formulation for roofing weathering protecting

Luran S is an ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) polymer that offers long-term performance when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light and heat. Its low maintenance and high weather resistance make Luran S suitable for a wide range of outdoor applications. Mixing with polyvinylchloride (PVC) or covering over PVC makes Luran S suited for applications such as roof tiles, gutters or drain down pipes. Luran S ECO is this company’s first sustainable ASA solution with up to 39% lower carbon footprint. EdilPlast SRL recently selected this material for Cover Innovation, a new roofing sheet product (photo). The use of these materials will allow EdilPlast to use from 30% to 50% bio-attributed raw materials. — Ineos Styrolution Group GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
