Makrolon® BG sheet is a hard-coated polycarbonate product designed for exceptional  durability. Manufactured to meet demanding bus glazing requirements, this product features abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and long lasting outdoor weathering performance. The high impact strength of this product provides excellent protection against vandalism, reducing unplanned maintenance and repair. Makrolon BG meets DOT/FMVSS 205/ANSI Z26.1 Item AS-4 and is available in clear as well as a variety of standard and custom tints. Applications include bus glazing

Bayblend® MTR sheet is an opaque product offering a unique combination of low flammability characteristics, robust mechanical properties, and ease of fabrication. Bayblend MTR complies with the flammability and smoke emission requirements for transit materials per the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration, listed in DOT: 49 CFR 238, and meets the criteria in the Bombardier Transportation Standard SMP 800-C for Toxic Gas Generation. Bayblend MTR has lower specific gravity, higher stiffness, higher strength, and greater toughness than typical non-metallic materials used for mass transportation interior components. This combination of physical properties allows for design of thinner and lighter parts that often do not require secondary reinforcement or stiffeners in the application. Bayblend MTR is available in a variety of textures and colors.

Makrolon® Lumen XT sheet is a translucent polycarbonate product with a textured surface on one side specifically designed for lighting lenses. It features a unique combination of high light diffusion and high light transmission through a combination of optimized surface texture and advanced diffuser technologies. When compared to other light diffusing products such as glass and acrylic, Makrolon Lumen XT sheet has superior impact strength and toughness. Its higher flammability resistance and wider service temperature range provide an additional performance advantage over acrylic diffusers. The wide range of standard diffusion levels offers designers the flexibility to maximize light fixtures’ aesthetics and performance. Other surface textures are available for additional design options. Applications include Interior LED and conventional lighting fixtures.
