Honeycomb
A série Honeycomb utiliza uma estrutura microprismática hexagonal convexa para oferecer um controlo multidirecional da luminância. Concebida para a excelência arquitetónica, garante um ambiente visualmente uniforme, bloqueando o encandeamento a partir de qualquer ângulo.
- Controlo isotrópico de 360°: Corte de luz uniforme a partir de qualquer posição em pé.
- Alta eficácia: Geometria das células otimizada para uma saída máxima de lúmenes.
- Corte de ângulo alto: Reduz o encandeamento para além dos ~65°.
- Em conformidade com UGR < 19: Ideal para certificações de escritórios e espaços públicos.

Dados Fotométricos
Desempenho Óptico e Refração
Ativação geométrica
Observe como os prismas hexagonais são «ativados» ao serem iluminados. Cada célula convexa captura a emissão LED bruta e descontrolada e redireciona-a para o plano de trabalho útil, suprimindo fisicamente o encandeamento de ângulo alto para cumprir a norma UGR < 19.
O conjunto óptico UGR < 19 oferece uma difusão consistente em todo o painel:
- Chapa microprismática +
- Filme/chapa difusora

| Thickness | ±3% |
| Mother board Length / Width | ±3.0 mm |
| Cut-to-Size Length / Width | ±0.3 mm |
| Light Transmittance & Haze | ±2% |
Note: PMMA has the highest thermal expansion coefficient among diffuser materials. This means it can expand in hot conditions and contract in cold conditions. Use our Thermal Expansion Calculator to predict the final dimensions before installation.
Packing
At Hexatron Technologies, we take great care in packing our diffuser sheets to ensure they reach our customers in perfect condition.
Standard Sheet Packing
- Mother Sheets: Large sheets (up to standard extrusion sizes) are stacked on pallets or crates.
- Final Cut / Cut-to-Size Sheets: Smaller sheets are carefully wrapped and separated with protective films or kraft paper, then bundled to avoid bending or warping.
Protection Methods
- Surface Protection Film: All diffuser sheets are supplied with a removable protective film to prevent scratches and contamination.
- Edge Guards / Corner Protectors: To prevent chipping or denting during handling and shipping.
Palletization & Securing
- Sheets are stacked on pallets or crates with interleaving layers and secured with straps or stretch film to prevent movement during transit.
- Maximum stack height is calculated based on sheet thickness and material to avoid warping or deformation. A pallet of 1.5 tons is the maximum weight.
Shipping & Handling Recommendations
- Flat Storage: Sheets should be stored flat and supported evenly to maintain flatness.
- Climate Considerations: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity, especially for PMMA, to prevent dimensional changes.
- Handling: Use gloves when removing protective film to prevent fingerprints.
