Covestro Makrolon® SL-V sheet Polycarbonate
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polycarbonate (PC)

Material Notes: UV resistant sign grade Makrolon® SL-V Sign Grade sheet is a polycarbonate product with an advanced UV resistance technology that promotes long lasting outdoor weathering performance. SL-V is a flame retardant grade, UL 94 V-2 rating at 0.094 in. and greater, and V-0 rating at 0.236 in. and greater. Other properties include outstanding impact strength, excellent dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, and high clarity. This lightweight thermoformable sheet is also easy to fabricate and decorate. Makrolon SL-V is offered in clear, a wide range of standard sign colors, or can be custom matched to any color. The product, available in either sheet or reels, has a proven track record of outstanding performance in extreme environments and meets the UL 879 standard for electric sign components. A ten (10) year limited product warranty is available for both clear and colors for breakage resistance. Clear sheet is also covered for weathering resistance.

Applications: Flat and formed sign faces and channel letters
