Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate Flat Sheet are clear and tough
Polycarbonate plastic products have a balance of useful features including temp resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastic materials and engineering plastic materials. Polycarbonate is definitely a tough material. Even though it offers exceptional impact-resistance, it has a lower scratch-resistance and thus a hard coating is often applied to polycarbonate eye protection lenses and polycarbonate exterior auto equipment. The characteristics associated with polycarbonate are generally comparable to those of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic), although polycarbonate is actually 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 it has better light transmission characteristics than most grades of glass. Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature near 150 °C (302 °F), therefore it softens gradually above this point and flows abo...
