- Product Highlights
- MAKROCLEAR™ FA provides designers 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
- MAKROCLEAR™ FA is an extruded polycarbonate sheet made from a special resin complying with food contact regulations governed by the US Food and Drug Administration and EC Directive. Sawing and forming can be performed by using the same methods as for standard polycarbonate
- Makroclear™ FA Benefits
- Food approval
- Resistance to high temperature
- Half the weight of glass
- High impact strength
- Easy to thermoform or fabricate
Applications & Uses
