Covestro Makrolon Polycarbonate Sheet offer high impact strength

Makrolon Polycarbonate products have a balance of beneficial features this includes high temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates in between commodity plastics and engineering plastic materials.
Polycarbonate is definitely a high quality material. Although it offers high impact-resistance, it has low scratch-resistance and thus a hard coating can be applied to polycarbonate eyewear lenses and polycarbonate exterior motor vehicle components. The properties of polycarbonate tend to be like those of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic), yet , 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 has better light transmission characteristics than many kinds of glass.
Polycarbonate carries a glass transition temperature near 150 °C (302 °F), consequently it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools ought to be held at warm to high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to make strain- and reduced stress products.
Unlike most thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo massive deformations without breaking or cracking. Due to this fact, it is sometimes processed and formed   cold using standard sheet metal techniques, for example forming bends with a brake. For even sharp angle bends having a tight radius, no heating is usually necessary. This makes it useful for prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are important, which can't be made from sheet metal. Note that PMMA/Plexiglas, that is certainly similar in looks to polycarbonate, but it's brittle and cannot be bent with out a heating process.
Polycarbonate is frequently found in eye protection, and also in other projectile-resistant see through applications that would normally indicate the use of glass, but require much higher impact-resistance. Several types of lenses are created from polycarbonate, including automotive headlamp lenses, lighting lenses, sunglass/eyeglass lenses, swimming and SCUBA goggles, and safety goggles for use in sporting helmets/masks and police riot gear. Windscreens in small motorized vehicles are normally crafted from polycarbonate, such as for motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, and small planes and helicopters.
