Window Grade Polycarbonate

Sheffield Plastics Inc. has announced that Makrolon® WG (Window Grade) polycarbonate sheet is now available in sheets ranging in thickness from .750” thick up to 2” thick. Previous Sheffield polycarbonate sheet products had a maximum thickness of up to .500”. This new thickness range makes Makrolon WG ideal for a variety of challenging environments ranging from containment to use for fabricated parts. It has many times the impact strength and less than half the weight of glass. The superior strength of the material, combined with its clarity and excellent dimensional stability, makes it ideal for many demanding applications, including sight windows for tanks/vessels, viewport windows, medical parts and some military parts.

Makrolon WG is an amorphorus thermoplastic made from Bayer’s Makrolon polycarbonate resin. The polycarbonate sheet offers extremely high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. It features excellent clarity, dimensional stability and good dielectric properties. It offers excellent thermal performance and is fabricationfriendly. It also demonstrates low levels of black speck contaminates or other impurities and is UV stable.
