Features & Benefits

Reliable Flame Retardancy & Safety

Makrolon 1804 meets UL 94 V-2 (1.5mm/3.0mm) and V-0 (6.0mm), plus an oxygen index of 31%. Ideal for fire-sensitive environments like transport interiors, ensuring compliance without sacrificing transparency.

Extreme Impact Resistance

It boasts Charpy notched impact up to 80 kJ/m² (23°C) and puncture energy of 70 J (30°C). Perfect for high-stress parts like aircraft seating or automotive panels, reducing cracks and replacements.

Low-Maintenance Extrusion Performance

UV-stabilized and low plate-out design ensures consistent color and clarity in sheets. Minimizes equipment cleaning downtime, boosting production efficiency for solid sheet manufacturers.
