Covestro Makrolon Polycarbonate Flat Sheet offer high impact strength

Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate products offer a balance of beneficial features which include high temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates in between commodity plastics and engineering materials.
Polycarbonate is a very durable material. Though it offers increased impact-resistance, it has got minimal scratch-resistance and so a hard coating could be applied to polycarbonate eyeglasses lenses as well as polycarbonate exterior automobile components. The properties of polycarbonate tend to be comparable to those of Acrylic PMMA materials, although 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 many kinds of glass.
Polycarbonate carries a glass transition temperature of around 150 °C (302 °F), as a result it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools must be held at higher temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) for making strain- and almost stress free products.
Unlike most thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo dramatic shape changes without breaking or cracking. Therefore, for small changes in shape, it can be processed and formed   without needing to be heated using sheet metal techniques, which include forming bends on a brake. For even sharp angle bends with a tight radius, no heating is usually necessary. This makes it useful for prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are necessary, which may not be created from sheet metal. Understand that PMMA/Plexiglas, which happens to be similar in appearance to polycarbonate, but it's brittle and cannot be bent unless it is heated.
Polycarbonate is often utilized in eye protection, as well as in other projectile-resistant viewing and lighting applications that would normally indicate the use of glass, but require much higher impact-resistance. Several types of lenses are made of polycarbonate, including automotive headlamp lenses, lighting lenses, sunglass/eyeglass lenses, swimming and SCUBA goggles, and safety visors for use in sporting helmets/masks and police riot gear. Windscreens in small motorized vehicles are normally made out of polycarbonate, such as for motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, and small planes and helicopters.
