TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Physical Properties
High impact resistance, abrasion and UV-protective surfaces, compliance with flammability ratings of major building codes and high light transmittance characterize Makrolon® polycarbonate sheet.

Makrolon® Sheet Combustibility
Polycarbonate sheet is among the least combustible of popular plastic glazing materials. However, it will ignite if exposed to an ignition source over 800°F.

Thermal Properties
Makrolon® polycarbonate sheet is an effective insulating material, particularly when compared to glass.

Code Ratings
Makrolon® polycarbonate sheet products satisfy major building code requirements including:

CC-1* rating in construction applications (BOCA, ICBO, SBCCI and Dade County)
