Makrolon® RE a clear choice for Kaynemaile Architectural Mesh

Kaynemaile architectural mesh is a patented, world-leading innovation made with Makrolon® polycarbonate, allowing for excellent design form and functionality. Kaynemaile has conducted extensive laboratory and field tests to ensure durability and strength - -all while being lightweight. 

Kaynemaile’s architectural mesh technology can be seen on large-scale facades of multiple public buildings around the world to beautify exteriors and reduce solar gain. It is also used extensively for interior screening and custom decorative features.  

Kaynemaile takes sustainability seriously. As the team searched for ways to reduce the carbon footprint of its architectural mesh, it was apparent an alternative material solution was needed. While the team was satisfied with the use of Makrolon® in its existing products, a replacement material would need to continue to meet the key properties and benefits offered by Makrolon®. 

The use of a new material in production process can often mean retooling, process changes and in turn, significant cost and time losses. Kaynemaile needed a material that was a drop-in solution while offering the sustainability benefits required to meet industry demand.  

Kaynemaile selected Makrolon® RE polycarbonate for its multiple benefits, including sustainability performance, durability, form and functionality. 

For over 50 years, manufacturers have relied on polycarbonate materials from Covestro for a wide range of applications, from color and design offerings to architectural solutions.
