Application
Goggles and wearables: Robust, reliable and desirable
Goggles and wearables for sports and leisure activities need to be strong, light, colorful, temperature-resistant, abrasion resistant, and flexible over a wide range of temperatures. They also need to be hard-wearing and attractive. Our polycarbonates and thermoplastics make this easy to achieve.
Key benefits

Whether you manufacture ski goggles, diving goggles, or stylish sunglasses, our Makrolon® polycarbonate offers the necessary optical properties, light weight and comfort required to make quality products. Its high mechanical strength and toughness also protects against eye injury. Functional coatings, such as anti-fog and polarization films, can be easily combined with the polycarbonate for added comfort and protection. Specialized Makrolon® grades can also provide ultraviolet protection and transmission rates of > 89 percent at 1 mm wall thickness. In the case of wearables, the tough chemical- and sweat-resistant Desmopan® product range is perfectly suited to creating flexible, colorful products such as fitness trackers and smart watches.
