Plastic body having low thermal conductivity, high light transmission and a capacity for absorption in the near-infrared region

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.
