Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate Sheets offer high impact strength

Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate products give you a balance of helpful features this includes temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates in between commodity plastics and engineering plastics.
Polycarbonate is definitely a durable material. Whilst it offers greater impact-resistance, it has got lower scratch-resistance and thus a hard coating may be applied to polycarbonate eyewear lenses as well as polycarbonate exterior automotive equipment. The characteristics relating to polycarbonate are generally like those of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic), except 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 most grades of glass.
Polycarbonate carries a glass transition temperature of approximately 150 °C (302 °F), therefore it softens slowly above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools will have to be held at higher temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to help with making strain- and reduced stress products.
Unlike almost all other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo dramatic deformations without breaking or cracking. For that reason, it could be processed and formed   at room temperature using sheet metal techniques, for instance forming bends on a brake. For even 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 needed, which cannot be produced from sheet metal. Understand that PMMA/Plexiglas, which is similar in looks to polycarbonate, but it's brittle and cannot be bent with out a heating process.
Polycarbonate is frequently used in eye protection, along with other projectile-resistant optical type applications that would normally be thought of as requiring the use of glass, but require higher impact-resistance. Many different types 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 made out of polycarbonate, such as for motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, and small planes and helicopters.
