The Clear Choice for your Glazing Needs 
TECHNOLOGY
MAKROLON 15 employs MAKSHIELD® coating technology which has been used successfully in mass produced automotive glazing applications for over 5 years MAKSHIELD imparts unprecedented durability to MAKROLON 15 for architectural glazing applications coupled with the inherent toughness of polycarbonate. WATER RESISTANCE CHARACTERIZATIONUpon exposure to UV radiation, weatherability can be quantified by degree of yellowness, or “Yellowness Index” (YI) as measured in ASTM D1925 Test Method for Yellowness Index of Plastics. Visible changes are detectable when YI ≈ 8 
MAKROLON® 15 is warranted for 15 years against yellowing and loss of light transmission when used in vertical glazing applications. WATER RESISTANCE PERFORMANCE
