Written by Amy Waterman | 23/04/2026

Bangalore, India - POLYVANTIS, a leading global supplier of multi-material sheet and film solutions, will debut at Roof India this month in its new avatar, introducing PLEXIGLAS® PMMA to the Indian market. PLEXIGLAS® is a globally recognized brand trusted for its long-term performance in the building and construction industry. Together with LEXAN™ polycarbonate film and sheet, it expands POLYVANTIS’ offering, giving architects, builders, and designers high-performance thermoplastic alternatives to traditional materials such as metal, wood, and glass.

Advantages of thermoplastics vs. traditional material

POLYVANTIS’ PLEXIGLAS® and LEXAN™ sheet products deliver measurable advantages across the areas that matter most in building and construction:

  • Performance in demanding environments: Built for long-term performance under high heat, UV exposure, humidity, and pollution.

  • Low maintenance and long service life: Durable, non-porous surfaces reduce cleaning, repairs, and upkeep.
  • Efficient fabrication and installation: Lightweight materials simplify handling and installation, reduce structural load, and support faster, more efficient construction.
  • Safety and compliance: High impact resistance and compliance with fire safety standards support a wide range of building applications.
  • Design and energy efficiency: High optical performance enables bright spaces, while solutions such as PLEXIGLAS® Heatstop and LEXAN™ THERMOCLEAR™ sheet help maximize natural light and improve thermal efficiency in roofing and skylight applications.
