- Product Highlights
- MAKROCLEAR™ provides designers, specifiers and architects with possibilities to use transparent polycarbonate sheets in applications where high clarity and optical performance is required. The consistent high quality demands from the market helps to improve machining, screen printability and thermoformability.
- EXCELLENT FIRE PERFORMANCE complying requirements to EN 13501-1 (EUROPEAN BUILDING STD). In case of fire, the sheet will melt and allow venting where heat and smoke will be let out and therefore reduce the growth of fire by flame spread.
- Makroclear™ Benefits
- Good optical quality
- Half the weight of glass
- More than 10 times the impact strength of high impact PMMA
- Easy to thermoform or fabricate
- Good fire classification
