Covestro Makrolon Polycarbonate Sheeting are considered unbreakable

Makrolon Polycarbonate products give you a unique balance of beneficial features which include temp resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates between commodity plastic materials and engineering materials.
Polycarbonate is definitely a tough material. Even though it has very high impact-resistance, it has got low scratch-resistance and thus a hard coating could be applied to polycarbonate eyewear lenses and polycarbonate exterior motor vehicle components. The properties associated with polycarbonate tend to be similar to that of those of Acrylic PMMA materials, but polycarbonate definitely is stronger, it is usable in a wider temperature range and is a bit more expensive. This plastic polymer is highly transparent to visible light and it has better light transmission characteristics than many kinds of glass.
Polycarbonate carries a glass transition temperature of about 150 °C (302 °F), as a result it softens slowly above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools need to be held at high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) to make strain- and reduced stress products.
Unlike most other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo large deformations without cracking or breaking. For this reason, for small changes in shape, it can be processed and formed   at room temperature using sheet metal techniques, which include forming bends with a brake. For even sharp angle bends having a tight radius, no heating is usually necessary. This makes it valuable in prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are essential, which can't be made from sheet metal. Remember that PMMA/Plexiglas, which happens to be similar in appearance to polycarbonate, but is brittle and can't be bent unless it is heated.

The light weight of polycarbonate, unlike glass, has led to development of electronic view screens that replace glass materials with polycarbonate, for use in mobile and portable devices. Such displays include newer e-ink and a few LCD screens, though CRT, plasma screen and other LCD technologies which still require glass for its higher melting temperature and the ability to be etched with finer detail.
Other types of items produced from Polycarbonate include durable, lightweight luggage, MP3/digital audio player cases, computer cases, police riot shields, instrument panels, and common style blender jars. Many toys and hobby items are made out of polycarbonate parts, e.g. fins, gyro mounts, and flybar locks for use with radio-controlled helicopters.
For use in applications subjected to weathering or UV-radiation, a special surface treatment could be needed. This may be a coating (e.g. for improved abrasion resistance), or perhaps the coextrusion for enhanced weathering resistance.
Bayer Makrolon Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic that at the beginning, starts as a solid material in the form of small pellets. In a manufacturing process called injection molding, these small pellets are heated until they melt in to a thick liquid. The liquid polycarbonate is then rapidly injected into the mold - shaped like the part, compressed under high pressure and cooled to form a finished product , all in just a minute or so.
