On the roof, on the facade, in the garden
Luran S displays ideal properties for...
A modern household without
plastics is now unthinkable.
Plastics, however, are also used infront of the front door, on the roof,
on facing walls and in the garden.
In these locations they are exposed
to particularly high stresses. It is
in just such outdoor positions that
the exceptional properties of the
Luran S grades show themselves
to best advantage. These are
applications which provide pleasure
for many years.
Due to its outstanding outdoor perform-
ance Luran S is practically unaffected
by the environment. Come rain or
shine, heat or cold, Luran S retains
its glowing colors and high impact
strength for many years.
Further advantages of Luran S include
thermal stability, exceptional aging
resistance and high resistance to
chemical attack.
Luran S affords almost unlimited free-dom of design and an abundance of
coloring possibilities so there are no
bounds to creativity.
Be it garden furniture, lights or sprin-
klers, Luran S ensures that you can
enjoy your leisure time. Whether injec-
tion molded or extruded, Luran S is in
good shape whatever the weather.

...an all round
safe feelingOnce installed, alarm systems or fire alarms
remain in use for many years. Depending on their
position they are exposed over this period to con-
siderable levels of UV radiation, rain and snow. In
addition to troublefree operation there are high
demands here on outdoor weathering perfor-
mance. Thats no problem for Luran S which
effortlessly meets these requirements.
...good connections
all round
The antenna industry is a typical field of applica-
tion. Luran S can demonstrate its advantages
here. On account of its outstanding UV stability
and high toughness Luran S is the ideal mate-
rial for parts in television antennae and parabolic
reflectors.

Luran S, however, is not just a plastic
for all weathers. It is also the materialof choice for outdoor electrical devices
subjected to high thermal stresses,
such as lights and movement detec-
tors. Luran S is also highly suitable for
solar cell systems.

Luran S exhibits high resistance to
weathering since the elastomer
component consists of a polyacrylaterubber. By comparison with butadiene
rubbers, as used for example in impact-
resistant polystyrene, and ABS, Luran S
has substantially higher resistance to
UV radiation and attack by atmospheric
oxygen (Fig. 1).

to meet special requirements. We rate diversity and reliability, innovative
solutions and partnership as key factors in providing value to our customers.
The weathering of plastics can change
not only their mechanical properties, for
due to the combination of UV radiation,atmospheric oxygen and heat a clearly
visible yellowing can also frequently
occur (Fig. 2). In this respect also Luran
S is extraordinarily stable on account of
its chemical structure.
Figure 1 shows the yellowing of white-
pigmented plastics when exposed
outdoors. In the initial phase slight dis-coloration occurs in all plastics. While,
in accord with this, ABS and (PC+ABS)
yellow rapidly, this effect only occurs
very much later in the case of Luran S
and with a lot less intensity.
