Features & Benefits

Food-Safe & Compliant

Makrolon 2856 meets stringent food-contact standards, ensuring safety for packaging, utensils, and appliances. It eliminates contamination risks while maintaining product integrity.

High Impact Resistance

With Charpy notched impact strength of 75 kJ/m² (23°C), this Makrolon 2856 polycarbonate withstands drops and impacts. Ideal for durable consumer goods, reducing breakage and replacement costs.

Easy Processing & Stability

The medium viscosity ensures smooth flow during injection molding, enabling complex designs. Low shrinkage (0.6–0.8%) minimizes warping for precise, repeatable production.
