Product catalog summary
Product Overview: MAKROLIFE™ is a transparent polycarbonate sheet featuring double-sided UV protection, making it ideal for outdoor applications. It is produced using advanced extrusion techniques and offers high impact resistance and temperature performance.
Key Benefits:
  • Double-sided UV protection.
  • Over 10 times the impact strength of high-impact PMMA.
  • Easy to thermoform and fabricate.
  • Half the weight of glass.
Application Areas: Suitable for barrel vaults, roof lights, architectural glazing, bus shelters, skylights, greenhouses, covered walkways, and sports arenas. It is also used in vending machines, lamps, nurseries, public telephones, stairs, and sound protection walls.
Fire Performance: Complies with EN 13501-1 standards. In case of fire, the sheet melts to allow venting, reducing flame spread.
Delivery Program: Standard size is 2050 x 3050 mm with a thickness range of 2 – 20 mm. Available in clear color with various embossing options. Special sizes and thicknesses are available upon request.
Technical Specifications:
  • Physical Properties: Density of 1.2 g/cm³, refractive index of 1.586, and moisture absorption of 0.15%.
  • Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength at yield of 60 N/mm², elongation at yield of 6%, and elastic modulus over 2300 N/mm².
  • Thermal Properties: Linear coefficient of thermal expansion is 65x10⁻⁶ K⁻¹, with heat deflection temperatures of 132°C and 142°C.
  • Electrical Properties: Volume resistivity over 10¹⁴ Ω·m, surface resistivity of 10¹⁶ Ω, and dielectric strength of 30 kV/mm.

MAKROLIFE™-1

TRANSPARENT PRODUCTS - POLYCARBONATE SHEETS MAKROLIFE™ is transparent polycarbonate sheet with double sided UV-protection. The product is produced with vast knowledge of our production team experienced in producing mono, co and tri-extrusion. The product has a UV protection layer guaranteed against UV radiation and yellowing hence excellent for outdoor applications where Glass is used. The product is virtually unbreakable with extremely high impact resistance and offers high temperature performance too. MAKROLIFE™ 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. MAKROLIFE™ BENEFITS: • Double-sided UV-protection • More than 10 times the impact strength of high impact PMMA • Easy to thermoform and fabricate • Half the weight of glass APPLICATION AREAS: MAKROLIFE™ is used in barrel vaults, roof lights, wide span architectural glazing, bus shelters, poster protection, skylights, greenhouses, covered walkways and sport arenas. MAKROLIFE™ has set the industrial standard in applications for vending machines, lamps, nurseries, public telephones, stairs, soundprotections walls and many others. DELIVERY PROGRAM: Standard size: 2050 x 3050 mm Thickness range: 2 - 20 mm Colour: Clear Embossing: ICE™, TEX™, Grain 35, ANTI-REFLEX™ Special sizes and thicknesses on request
