Abstract: An extrusion die has a distributing tool; a profiling nozzle; and at least three melt-flow ducts; a first melt-flow duct is routed around a second melt-flow duct or the distributing tool using a branch and is merged again downstream from the branch; and a third melt-flow duct opens into the second melt-flow duct. The extrusion die is suitable for extrusion of a hollow-chamber profiled panel of a thermoplastic plastic with a layered structure which comprises a top and bottom layer of a first plastic melt; and an intermediate layer of a second plastic melt disposed in an interior of a hollow chamber profile. The first plastic melt is allocated to the first melt-flow duct and to the second melt-flow duct and the second plastic melt is allocated to the third melt-flow duct. During the extrusion the second plastic melt is deposited onto the first plastic melt upstream from or in the region of the branch, and a distribution of the deposited second plastic melt is regulated using the distributing tool.

Abstract: A plastic body including a base molded body produced from a transparent, thermoplastic base material, and that includes at least two opposing flat layers interconnected by vertical or diagonal connecting elements. One of the flat layers is provided with an additional layer of a plastic matrix in a transparent, plastic base material. The additional layer is an IR-absorbent layer containing at least one IR-absorber that does not impair transparency of the plastic body and has an average transmission of less than 80% in the region of the near-infrared radiation (780 nm to 1100 nm). The plastic body has a light transmission of between 15% and 86%, a maximum heat transition coefficient of 4 W/m2K and a minimum Sk value of 1.15. The plastic body can be used, e.g., as a glazing element, a roofing element, a heat insulating element.
