Covestro Makrolon Polycarbonate Flat Sheet are clear and tough

Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate materials have a great blend of helpful features including temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastic materials and engineering materials.
Polycarbonate is definitely a sturdy material. Though it features greater impact-resistance, it's got a lower scratch-resistance and so a hard coating could be applied to polycarbonate eye wear lenses as well as polycarbonate exterior auto equipment. The characteristics associated with polycarbonate are generally comparable to those of common Acrylic materials, except polycarbonate is always 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 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 flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools are required to be held at warm to high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to produce strain- and almost stress free products.
Unlike almost all other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo massive shape changes without breaking. Because of this, it can be processed and formed   without needing to be heated using sheet metal techniques, for instance forming bends with a brake. Even for sharp angle bends having a tight radius, no heating is usually necessary. This makes it valuable in prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are crucial, which may not be made from sheet metal. Understand that PMMA/Plexiglas, that is similar in appearance to polycarbonate, but it's brittle and cannot be bent at room temperature.
Polycarbonate is commonly found in eye protection, along with other projectile-resistant see through or lighting applications that would normally indicate the use of glass, but require higher impact-resistance. Many kinds of lenses are made of 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 commonly manufactured from polycarbonate, such as for motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, and small planes and helicopters.
