EdilPlast SRL’s new roofing sheet solution – Cover Innovation.

Luran S is an acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) polymer that offers superior long-term performance when exposed to UV light and heat.

With low maintenance and high weather resistance, Luran S is suitable for a wide range of outdoor applications. Mixing with PVC or covering over PVC, the ASA polymer fits for applications such as roof tiles, gutters or drain down pipes.

Luran S ECO is INEOS Styrolution’s first sustainable ASA solution with up to 39% lower carbon footprint. The use of these materials will allow EdilPlast to use bio-attributed raw materials from 30% to 50%.
