OVERVIEW of Makrolon® SL SunLife |
Makrolon® SL SunLife
- Prolonged exposure to the sun can weather even the most durable of surfaces. In the past, acrylic was often
chosen for plastic glazing applications because of its inherent resistance to yellowing over time. But compared to polycarbonate, the relative brittleness of acrylic made
its impact strength insufficient for demanding, vandal resistant applications. Makrolon® SL offers the best of both worlds', the impact protection of polycarbonate sheet and the UV resistance of acrylic. Utilizing advanced formulations combined with state-of-the-art extrusion technology, Covestro has created a tough, consistent quality product that will exhibit superior performance for years to come.
The performance of Makrolon® SL polycarbonate sheet has been well documented through years of
laboratory and field testing. In side-by-side comparative testing under severe conditions, Makrolon® SL polycarbonate sheet consistently outperformed competitive materials utilizing older technology. Materials were also tested in forms and bends well beyond recommended guidelines, proving that the integrity of SL, as well as its UV resistance, will not change if the sheet is bent or cold-formed. So conclusive was this testing that Covestro offers a limited warranty against excessive yellowing, loss of
light transmission, and breakage.
