Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the features and benefits of arcoPlus®5511, a modular polycarbonate panel system designed for translucent architecture. It emphasizes the use of natural resources for internal environments and highlights the system's adaptability, sustainability, and technical specifications.
Specifications: The arcoPlus®5511 system consists of 50mm thick modular polycarbonate panels with an interlocking tongue and groove clip. The panels have an internal structure of 11 walls with an X-sloping position, ensuring both technical and aesthetic performance. They are 100% recyclable and available in standard colors (Clear, Opal, Bronze) and special colors (RTG + Caleido).
Technical Features: The panels offer a thermal transmittance of U 0.9 W/m2K, acoustic insulation of Rw 21 dB, and a temperature range of -40°C to +120°C. They are UV-protected and have a fire reaction classification of EuroClass B-s1,d0. Light transmission varies with color, with Crystal at 43% and Opal at 25%.
Special Treatments: The panels are treated with PURETI® nanotechnologies to reduce carbon footprint and improve air quality. Additional treatments include IR for solar control, AR for anti-glare surfaces, UV-TECH for extended solar exposure warranty, UV-MATT for silk diffusing surfaces, and AG for anti-scratch and anti-graffiti protection.
Applications: The system is suitable for continuous facades, translucent curtain walls, windows, sheds, and indoor partitions. It supports large translucent surfaces with minimal substructure, maximizing natural light and energy savings.
Advantages: Key benefits include easy installation, thermally broken frame profiles, integration of openable systems, high thermal insulation, high wind resistance, and enhanced indoor natural lighting.
Accessories: The document lists various accessories such as ALU profiles with thermal breaks, seal strips, and brackets to support the installation and performance of the panel system.

Project: Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center By L.A.based AUX Architecture Location: Los Angeles, Usa CUSTOMISED SURFACES & SPECIAL TREATMENTS COLORS COLLECTION Our special multi-layer extrusion allow to customise the color of the panel bulk with infinite shardes of colors according with each architectural request; this is the Caleido project. However, to speed up delivery times we have selected a collection of 21 colors, called RTG, which is available on the full range of arcoPlus systems. UV-MATT | SILK DIFFUSING SURFACE In order to avoid surface’s glares that usually characterize the PC building covering and to get a new material sensation, we can coextrude a special matt and UV-protected finish on outer wall of panels. This treatment allows also a better ditribution of natural light in the interiors and give a special one silk filltouch. UV.TECH | SPECIAL SOLAR EXPOSURE WARRANTY arcoPlus® paneling customised with UV-TECH treatment is characterized by an extended warranty up to 15 years, due to an exclusive protective coextrusion applied into the external walls facing the sun esposure, composed by the special UV-absorbers more chemically stable and effective over time. AR | ANTI-GLARE SURFACE arcoPlus® panels with AR coating are characterized by a kind of coextrusion on the inner side which diffuses the sunlight. It reduces the passage of heat but moreover this innovativation prevents glares or flash, thus improving the environment’s visual comfort of the indoor area where they are installed. IR | SOLAR CONTROL The panels spiked with IR treatment can absorb the portion of light of the infrared spectrum (780-1400nm), blocking solar heat but letting pass the brightness. Using these products, you can reduce up to 25% increase in the internal temperature caused by the greenhouse effect and you can keep the climate comfort. AG | ANTI-SCRATCH & ANTI GRAFFITI Sometimes the panels are installed where there’s the risk of damage by vandalism as spray paint or surface scratch, here AG treatment: it creates an anti-graffiti and anti-scratch surface with a repellent barrier to oils and water prevents the paint to penetrate deeply into the substrate and will make it easy to remove. To the arcoPure® polycarbonate panels is applied PURETI® advanced nanotechnologies with the aim of reduce carbon footprint and to make buildings more and more sustainable... So PC panels are treated directly during the extrusion production process with this special patented coating to both reduce pollution and improve air quality. Through the UVrays and solar energy, this transparent and non-toxic photocatalytic treatment is activated and chemical reactions occur on the PC surface, converting atmospheric pollutants particles VOx Nox in Oxygen molecules, emitted into the air. Plastic get to behave like natural phenomena... giving five main benefits: air-purification for healthier spaces, anti-pollution balance, indoor odor reduction, anti-viral & anti-baterical surfaces and self-cleaning facades. OPENABLE SYSTEM WITH THERMAL BREAK The goal of translucent architecture is to benefit as much as possible of natural resources for internal environments... in this way we have designed special frames, with automatic or manual opening engine, allowing to insert opening windows into your arcoPlus®5511 facades. The size of these opening windows can be customized, in order to guarantee the correct ventilation according to each specific regulamentation.

Architecture dressed in Light UV protected side 50 mm LOAD RESISTANCE Maximum loads single span Thanks to the features of lightweight and unbreakability of the PC multiwall panels, it is possible to easily create large translucent surfaces, using the support of a light and barely visible substructure. In fact, with the use of the few accessories designed for this system, the benefits of natural light and transparency can be maximized both in terms of energy saving and attractive designs. Maximum loads double or multi span Values below refer to product installed according to the Technical Handbook...
