Makrofol® DE248 1-1 000000 is a polycarbonate film with a high gloss surface on both sides. The key properties are the tighter thickness tolerance and the higher optical quality. Additionally, Makrofol® DE248 1-1 000000 has good heat resistance and excellent impact strength. The combination of the good printability and good formability makes Makrofol® DE248 1-1 000000 a good choice for being the base film for coating applications and served in 2D / 3D graphic applications. Makrofol® DE 248 1-1 000000 is supplied with the protective masking film covered on both sides. It is available in various standard thicknesses between 175 to 500 µm. Other thicknesses are on request.
