Covestro Makrolon® FR 6002 Polycarbonate
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polycarbonate (PC); Polycarbonate, Molded
Material Notes:	Makrolon® is extremely robust, lightweight with glass-like transparency and is impact resistant – even at extremely low temperatures. It has a high dimensional stability and is easily molded, yet has excellent heat resistance with a glass transition temperature of up to 148ºC. Grades are available optimized for lighting, medical and food contact, flame-retardant, impact-modified and glass-fiber reinforced grades. Products made out of polycarbonate boast a long life and allow efficient reusability. Stronger and lighter than glass, polycarbonate also provides energy and CO2 emission savings. Furthermore, it reduces product losses due to breakage during distribution and use. Most post-production waste is mechanically recycled into “recyclate grade” polycarbonate blends.
