Features & Benefits

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 UL 94 V0 from 3 mm. 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™ FR Benefits
  • UL 94 V0 FROM 3 mm
  • Outstanding high clarity and surface quality
  • High Impact strength
  • Half the weight of glass
  • Easy to thermoform or fabricate
