Covestro Makrolon Polycarbonate Sheets offering light weight and break resistance
Makrolon Polycarbonate products have a balance of useful features which include temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastic materials and engineering plastics. Polycarbonate is a very tough material. Even though it features very high impact-resistance, it has low scratch-resistance and so a hard coating could be applied to polycarbonate eye wear lenses as well as polycarbonate exterior automobile equipment. The properties associated with polycarbonate tend to be along the lines of those of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic), yet , 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 many different types of glass. Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature of around 150 °C (302 °F), consequently it softens slowly above this point and flo...
