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...
