Covestro Makrolon Polycarbonate Flat Sheet offering light weight and break resistance

Makrolon Polycarbonate materials give you a balance of beneficial features which include temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastic materials and engineering plastics. Polycarbonate is definitely a long-lasting material. Though it has considerable impact-resistance, it possesses lower scratch-resistance and thus a hard coating is applied to polycarbonate eyeglasses lenses and polycarbonate exterior automotive equipment. The characteristics associated with polycarbonate are generally similar to those of common Acrylic materials, but polycarbonate is undoubtedly stronger, it is usable in a wider temperature range and is a bit more expensive. This plastic polymer is highly transparent to visible light and has better light transmission characteristics than most grades of glass. Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature of approximately 150 °C (302 °F), as a result it softens gradually above this point and flow...
