Makrolon Polycarbonate products give you a unique balance of useful features this includes temp resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates in between commodity plastic materials and engineering plastic materials.
Polycarbonate is a very rugged material. Although it features exceptional impact-resistance, it possesses lower scratch-resistance and thus a hard coating is applied to polycarbonate eye wear as well as polycarbonate exterior auto equipment. The properties of polycarbonate are generally similar to that of those of Acrylic PMMA materials, yet , polycarbonate is always 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 has a glass transition temperature of around 150 °C (302 °F), as a result it softens slowly above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools should be held at warm to high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) in order to make strain- and stress-free products.
Unlike most other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo massive deformations without cracking. Therefore, it can be processed and formed cold using sheet metal techniques, such as forming bends on a brake. Even for sharp angle bends having a tight radius, no heating is generally necessary. This makes it attractive prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are essential, which can't be created from sheet metal. Please keep in mind PMMA/Plexiglas, which happens to be similar in looks to polycarbonate, but it is brittle and cannot be bent unless it is heated.
The light weight of polycarbonate, compared to glass, has led to growth and development of electronic view screens that replace glass with polycarbonate, for use in mobile and portable devices. Such displays include newer e-ink and some LCD screens, though CRT, plasma screen and other LCD technologies which still require glass for its higher melting temperature and its ability to be etched with finer detail.
Other types of items made out of Polycarbonate include durable, lightweight luggage, MP3/digital audio player cases, computer cases, high impact riot shields, instrument panels, and blender jars. Many toys and hobby items are constructed from polycarbonate parts, e.g. fins, gyro mounts, and flybar locks for use with radio-controlled helicopters.
For use in applications exposed to weathering or UV-radiation, a special surface treatment could be needed. This either can be a coating (e.g. for improved abrasion resistance), or as a coextrusion for enhanced weathering resistance.
Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic that at the beginning, starts as a solid material in the form of small pellets. In a manufacturing process called injection molding, this pellet material is heated until they melt. The melted liquid polycarbonate is then rapidly pushed into a mold with the empty part being the size and shape of the part you want, compressed under high pressure and cooled to produce a finished product , all in just a minute or so.

Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate Flat Sheet offering light weight and break resistance
Makrolon Polycarbonate materials have a balance of beneficial features which include high temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastics and engineering plastics.
Polycarbonate is a very long-lasting material. Although it offers extraordinary impact-resistance, it possesses low scratch-resistance and thus a hard coating may be applied to polycarbonate eye protection lenses as well as polycarbonate exterior automotive components. The properties relating to polycarbonate are similar to that of those of Acrylic PMMA materials, except polycarbonate is always 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 near 150 °C (302 °F), consequently it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools need to be held at higher temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) for making strain- and reduced stress products.
Unlike almost all other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo dramatic deformations without cracking or breaking. For this reason, it is sometimes processed and formed  cold using sheet metal techniques, for instance forming bends on a brake. Even for sharp angle bends with a tight radius, no heating is generally necessary. This makes it valuable in prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are necessary, which cannot be created from sheet metal. Note that PMMA/Plexiglas, that is similar in appearance to polycarbonate, but it's brittle and can't be bent at room temperature.
The light weight of polycarbonate, compared to glass, has led to development of electronic view screens that replace glass materials with polycarbonate, for use in mobile and portable devices. Such displays include newer e-ink as well as LCD screens, though CRT, plasma screen and other LCD technologies still generally require glass for its higher melting temperature and its ability to be etched in finer detail.
Other types of items created from Polycarbonate include durable, lightweight luggage, MP3/digital audio player cases, computer cases, police riot shields, instrument panels, and common style blender jars. Many toys and hobby products are constructed from polycarbonate parts, e.g. fins, gyro mounts, and flybar locks for use with radio-controlled helicopters.

Lexan Polycarbonate Sheet are clear and tough
Polycarbonate plastic materials offer a great blend of useful features this includes high temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastic materials and engineering plastics.
Polycarbonate is definitely a long-lasting material. Though it has outstanding impact-resistance, it has got low scratch-resistance and thus a hard coating typically is applied to polycarbonate eyeglasses lenses and polycarbonate exterior automobile equipment. The properties of polycarbonate are generally similar to those of Acrylic PMMA materials, yet , polycarbonate is always 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 around 150 °C (302 °F), so it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools need to be held at high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to help make strain- and almost stress free products.
Unlike most thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo large changes in basic shape without breaking. For this reason, for small changes in shape, it can be processed and formed at room temperature using standard sheet metal techniques, for example forming bends with a brake. For even sharp angle bends having a tight radius, no heating is generally necessary. This makes it attractive prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are essential, which should not be produced from sheet metal. Keep in mind that PMMA/Plexiglas, that is similar in looks to polycarbonate, but it's brittle and cannot be bent without heating.

Saving thousand dollars a year is THIS easy!
I am always in wonder at how some people complain about having no money.. and yet seem to have a blind spot on what they spend money on. Luckily for Mr Zhong Shanshan (whom I bet you’ve never heard of!) there are enough blind spotters in the world to make him the 6th richest man in the world.
How did that happen? Simple. He bet on people’s blind spot and sold them exactly what they never needed but suddenly though they did.
Bottled water.
Think about it. If you are 30 or over you still remember when you DIDNT see the need to buy bottled after. You drank water from your home tap. Then came the fear campaigns (and the chemicals!) that proved to you that water enclosed in a plastic sheath, and sold to you by a multinational was ‘better’.
Yes, it may be better if it can be proven it is chemical free.. but the scores of cases already recorded of exposes of companies that just filled bottles with tap water makes that one hard to accept. And now we know about the problems of plastics and the fact that we ingest the equivalent of a credit card of plastic EVERY MONTH.. the idea of a plastic bottle loses its attraction.
We all know about food miles.
We have agreed that we should buy food locally where possible for many good reasons. But water? There’s that blind spot. Just grab a dozen of the supermarket shelf. They are on special this week.
Yes, there are some quite terrible water supplies. In the US there are over 200 cities that supply water with toxic levels of lead, a known brain toxin. In Australia thousands of people are drinking water with carcinogenic PFOAs. In many countries fluoride, chlorine and chloramine has been added to ‘make our water safe’.
I’m sure Mr Shanshan can tell us hundreds of stories about how bad Chinese water supplies are.. and every time he does, he can watch his bank account grow. I have no argument with him. Perhaps given China’s water problems he is doing something good.. but honestly, at what cost to the environment and the world?
If you’d like to get off the bottled water merrygoround, drop us a line and we’ll show you how you can massively reduce the money you spend on good water.. forever. And get ready to have lots more dollars in your pocket!

Polycarbonate is commonly utilized in eye protection, along with other projectile-resistant see through applications that would normally indicate the use of glass, but require much greater impact-resistance. Many different types of lenses are produced from polycarbonate, including automotive headlamp lenses, lighting lenses, sunglass/eyeglass lenses, swimming and SCUBA goggles, and safety goggles for use in sporting helmets/masks and police riot gear. Windscreens in small motorized vehicles are normally crafted from polycarbonate, such as for motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, and small planes and helicopters.
