Mar-Con® 600 Polycarbonate

Chemical Family: Polycarbonate (PC)

Mar-Con® 600 Polycarbonate is an advanced technology abrasion resistant highly cross-linked hard coating with excellent abrasion resistance, solvent resistance, and antigraffiti properties. It is designed for a variety of high-performance end uses. This Mar-Con 600 hard coating provides enhanced resistance to abrasion of the sheet surfaces from cleaning, handling, and defacement efforts. Mar-Con® 600 Polycarbonate plastic substrate is a high optic grade polycarbonate that exhibits excellent optical properties with superior impact resistance and flame spread properties. This product can be used in many more applications than would be practical for an uncoated polycarbonate sheet. Mar-Con 600 can also be applied to thin gage materials without suffering from distortions caused by typical thermal curing coating processes.

Cleaning: The Mar-Con 600 surface can be cleaned with a variety of common cleaners (see reverse side for specific recommendations). Care should be taken to avoid the use of any cleaner or cleaning solution which contains an abrasive. In addition, all wipes, sponges, and drying towels should be clean and free of any grit which could damage the surface.
Fabrication: Mar-Con® 600 Polycarbonate is easily fabricated into flat surface configurations using the same equipment and fabrication techniques generally employed with uncoated polycarbonate sheet products. For applications requiring heat formed or bent configurations, plastic substrates with SciCron Technologies Forming Grade Mar-Con® 551 coating are recommended. Note: When solvent glue welding, it is necessary to remove the Mar-Con 600 coated surface mechanically to achieve a good bond.
