Covestro Makrolon® AR sheet Polycarbonate
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polycarbonate (PC)
Material Notes:	Abrasion resistant Makrolon® AR sheet is a one or both sides hard-coated polycarbonate product that adds higher abrasion resistance and surface hardness to polycarbonate’s inherent performance benefits of impact strength and clarity. The proprietary hard-coat also provides chemical resistance and long lasting outdoor weathering performance. This product is available in clear, a range of standard tints, or can be custom matched to any color. Makrolon AR sheet has a seven (7) year Limited Product Warranty against breakage, yellowing, and hazing. Applications: Flat architectural glazing, machine guards, and laminates Information provided by Covestro
