Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate Sheet are clear and tough

Makrolon Polycarbonate materials have a balance of helpful features which include temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastics and engineering materials. Polycarbonate is a very long-lasting material. Although it offers very high impact-resistance, it has got minimal scratch-resistance and so a hard coating is applied to polycarbonate eye wear lenses and polycarbonate exterior automotive equipment. The characteristics associated with polycarbonate tend to be similar those of common Acrylic materials, and 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 several types of glass. Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature of about 150 °C (302 °F), therefore it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). T...
