Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • MAKROCLEAR™ HARDCOAT has medium optical quality and is the choice when chemical resistance, scratch resistance and impact strength are more important than high optical clarity.
  • MAKROCLEAR™ HARDCOAT is resistant to many of the most common chemicals, and the hard coat also provides an excellent protection against vandalism as paint and ink does not stick to the coated surface.
Makroclear™ Hardcoat Benefits
  • Abrasion and Impact Resistant
  • UV Stability
  • Chemical resistance
  • More than 10 times the impact strength of high impact acrylic
