Sabic’s Lexan panels offer hurricane protection

To help, Sabic – working with Habitat for Humanity and the Hancock Housing Resource Center – is donating a thousand protective panels made from Lexan Clear Storm Panel polycarbonate (PC) sheet to 120 low-income families in Bay St Louis, located in Hancock County, Mississippi (USA).

The reusable Lexan sheet panels offer significantly better impact strength than plywood or other protective materials, provide crystal clear transparency, will help the 120 families obtain certificates of occupancy so they can finally return to their homes and will provide greatly improved hurricane protection for the future.

“We are very pleased to help the people of Bay St Louis finish rebuilding their homes and to protect them and their property against future hurricanes with our virtually unbreakable Lexan PC sheet,” said Kevin Clunie, Sabic’s supply chain manager for speciality film and sheet.

“This is an excellent opportunity to help those in need by donating one of our toughest high-performance materials, technical expertise and other resources they need to make them safe and secure and to enhance their quality of life.”
