Talk to us about how Covestro materials for train exteriors can optimize the strength, safety, durability and sustainability of your rail vehicles. Our robust Makrolon® polycarbonates, for example, offer excellent optical transparency, making them a suitable option for train windscreens and windows, and one which is currently employed throughout the APAC region.
