exciting design possibilities. But LED sources also pose

challenges when it comes to glare, hotspots, and light

uniformity which often requires the use of diffusion lenses.

data storage, and construction applications,

Bayer MaterialScience now offers the latest in lighting

solutions with Makrolon® and Makrofol® translucent

polycarbonate sheet and film. Designed for LED lighting,

Makrolon Lumen XT and Makrofol LM sheet and film provide

a range of diffusion levels with optimized light transmission

– delivering unsurpassed quality and performance. Makrolon

sheet features higher impact strength than glass or acrylic,

and superior temperature resistance over acrylic. In addition,

Makrolon sheet can be formed into a variety of shapes tosatisfy your application and design needs. Makrolon sheet

and Makrofol film ultimately provide the technical design

freedom to maximize your light fixture’s performance and

maintain optimum aesthetics.
