| Giant screen debut for industry giants  A collaboration between two of the world's biggest chemicals companies has resulted in an innovative coating developed by AkzoNobel being used to help turn the former corporate HQ of Bayer in Germany into the largest media façade in the world. From mid-2009 onwards, the 122-meter high building in Leverkusen will effectively become a giant screen, capable of displaying Bayer's colored logo at a height of up to 40 meters. The façade will also be used to send out scrolling messages to the surrounding region.But it's not only the outside of the building which is attracting admiring glances. Inside, the 30,000 square meter steel structure has been protected with the Intercure 99 coating supplied by AkzoNobel's International Paint business. The product is based on polyaspartic binding agents of the Desmophen NH range from Bayer MaterialScience. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
