MAKROCLEAR™
MAKROCLEAR™ is a transparent polycarbonate sheet known for its high impact resistance and excellent temperature performance. It is designed for applications requiring high clarity and optical performance, making it suitable for designers, specifiers, and architects.
- Good optical quality
- Half the weight of glass
- Over 10 times the impact strength of high impact PMMA
- Easy to thermoform or fabricate
- Good fire classification
Complies with EN 13501-1 (European Building Standard). In case of fire, the sheet melts to allow venting, reducing flame spread.
Ideal for machining protection, safety glazing, ice hockey rinks, vandal protection, signs, displays, riot shields, windows, medical equipment, and bicycle helmets.

Catalog excerpts
TRANSPARENT PRODUCTS - POLYCARBONATE SHEETS MAKROCLEAR™ is transparent polycarbonate sheet. The product is produced with vast knowledge of our production team experienced in producing mono, co and tri-extrusion. The product is virtually unbreakable with extremely high impact resistance and offers high temperature performance too. MAKROCLEAR™ provides designers, specifiers and architects with possibilities to use transparent polycarbonate sheets in applications where high clarity and optical performance is required. The consistent high quality demands from the market helps to improve machining, screen printability and thermoformability EXCELLENT FIRE PERFORMANCE complying requirements to EN 13501-1 (EUROPEAN BUILDING STD). In case of fire, the sheet will melt and allow venting where heat and smoke will be let out and therefore reduce the growth of fire by flame spread. MAKROCLEAR™ BENEFITS: • Good optical quality • Half the weight of glass • More than 10 times the impact strength of high impact PMMA • Easy to thermoform or fabricate • Good fire classification APPLICATION AREAS: MAKROCLEAR™ is the perfect solution for machining protection, safety glazing, ice hockey rinks, vandal protection etc. MAKROCLEAR™ thermoforms very easily and is often used in signs, displays, riot shields, windows, medical equipment, bicycle helmets etc. DELIVERY PROGRAM: Standard size: 2050 x 3050 mm 2050 x 3050 mm (2 - 20 mm) Thickness range: 0,75 - 20 mm Colour: Clear Embossing: ICE™, TEX™, Grain 35, ANTI-REFLEX™ Special sizes and thicknesses on request
